Wherefore art my purpose in life I'm filled with passion, love, and fight Bursting with spirit until I'm overcome By social anxiety and a long line at the grocery store I want to be good but I'm without determination I've been taught leadership, sure And I don't want to be a follower But do I want to make others into followers? Is it possible to do good and not be a hypocrite To organize people for a purpose Without taking advantage of them Without rewarding their efforts fairly? Verily I remain a thinker, a ponderer And regrettably not a man of action It must be a moral quandary that keeps me at home Because I could never admit that it's only fear of failure

Leadership Paradox
Wherefore art my purpose in life I'm filled with passion, love, and fight Bursting with spirit until I'm overcome By social anxiety and a long line at the grocery store I want to be good but I'm without determination I've been taught leadership, sure And I don't want to be a follower But do I want to make others into followers? Is it possible to do good and not be a hypocrite To organize people for a purpose Without taking advantage of them Without rewarding their efforts fairly? Verily I remain a thinker, a ponderer And regrettably not a man of action It must be a moral quandary that keeps me at home Because I could never admit that it's only fear of failure
The main reason I'm not the president. Of anything
