If it bleeds

The Curse of Power

 

sometimes 

leadership hurts us

serve and protect 

the solemn oath, 

holding the touch

being the light for others,

being the change

unfortunately, there is

no change without loss 

the narrative 'if you're

not hurting you are not 

a leader' puts unrealistic 

expectations, to sacrifice

yourself, your time, 

 and well being for decisions

to be criticised and judged, 

no one likes you yet you're breaking 

your back for them

I used to think

knowledge was power

but no one told me

knowledge come at a cost

you have no right to cry

or feel, you've to be the

light even when you're 

travelling in a dark tunnel, 

that's the curse of power.
