Happily A Follower

Simply trying
To watch the world go by,
Unlike others
I don't wish to fly.
I'd rather stand back,
And enjoy the show.
Can't tell of a sunrise or sunset,
But I'd rather not know.
Is that so bad?
I didn't think so.
Why must I have meaning?
Meaning only tells you how to grow.
I'd rather grow free.
But hey,
That's just me.
Would you read your own story,
When there are so much better?
Why is it so important,
To be the trendsetter?
We were always told,
To be the ringleader.
We always had to be ahead,
By more than a meter.
But what if there were no followers?
Who would clap as heroes walk by?
Who would be the low,
To compare to the high?
We were always told
To lead,
But somebody
Has to bleed.
