Leadership

Licking my sweet lips
It is consistence
Let me indulge myself
It is responsibility
Let me dive in
To see what is in stored

You are born a leader
Yet certain qualities are required
You are born with a mind
Yet knowledge has to be absorbed
You are born with a set of eyes
Yet distinguishment has to be applied

Rolling my piercing eyes
It is accountability
Opening my sharp mouth
It is wisdom
Let me sharpen this pencil
To be continued

Its a profound word that requires certain characteristics, humanity and be able to be true to yourself, to be able to stand firmly in your beliefs. Its not about honouring the people, its about honouring what you stand for. Its a reflection on one self.
