Take The Lead Poem by Anthony Daniels

I will no longer disregard your lack of respect for me as a human being.
No more waiting in the sidelines for me, no more waiting for my moment to outshine all of you. That chapter of my life has come to an end.
The next chapter and many more to follow will be mine to write, no more will you dictate what will be written in my life's story.
I am constructing a grand structure from within that will immortalize me for generations to come.
Built to outlast your hate and most importantly, your ignorance.
No longer is seeking your approval a top priority of mine.
I have taken the time to liberate myself from your rule.
I have decided to take the lead of my own life, now it is time for me to put in the work to building my own legacy.
