I Followed Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

I Followed



I followed.
And learned from one respected,
How to lead and leave...
Personal feelings,
Kept to keep unspoken.

I followed...
With a taking of notes.
And observing my steps.
To notice them made,
Without excuses or regrets to accept.

I followed...
Until I knew,
It was time for me to lead.
To find and discover for myself,
How easy it is to follow someone else...
With a doing done to believe,
Those who lead are without fear.

I followed.
And learned from one respected,
How to lead and leave...
Personal feelings,
Kept to keep unspoken.

I followed...until I learned how to lead.
With a facing of fear I believed I could leave.
To know without faith to claim it but fake,
I'd be awaiting for threats to prevent my steps.
And admitting that to myself is not acceptable.
