My Real Why


Why?

Why do I want to be a leader?

I will tell you that it has everything to do with dreams and philanthropy and drive.

I will lie and promise that I am caring, compassionate, nurturing, and strong.

Why do I want to be a leader?

Because sitting outside of the group knaws at my soul just a little but too much.

Because I can't stand to be the ant at the back of the lines.

Because purpose needs to be the one I choose.

Because I am controlling, manipulative, ambitious, and narsistic.

Because I am nosey and desperate for power.

Why do I want to be a leader?

Because that sounds better than dictator.
