Verses Of The Heart

The Weight Of Leadership

The weight of the world rests on my soul
As the group leader, I have a role
To guide and keep everyone on track
But sometimes, the pressure is too much to handle, I crack

I'm expected to know everything, and be perfect
To always be right and never deflect
Each decision I make, I must be sure
And if I'm wrong, the group's morale will take the lure

I feel like I'm constantly walking on eggshells
Concerned about stepping on team members' wells
Worried about displeasing, yet hoping to please
It's a delicate balance that's hard to seize

With every meeting, I feel like I'm on stage
And my actions and words, I must carefully gauge
My confidence and strength, I must exude
To show my team that I can lead and be shrewd

But deep down, I'm just a person like them
Sometimes, I feel overwhelmed and condemned
I wish, for once, I could let down my guard
And not feel guilty or emotionally scarred

But as the leader, I must soldier on
And keep the group focused until our battles are won
It's a heavy burden, but one that's worthwhile
To lead a team that can make a difference with their smile.
