Role Model


They always ask you who's your greatest role model,

So once I asked a younger peer how they answered.

The girl said, "Well, actually I said you."

I was taken back.

I still saw myself of searching for a role model,

never being one for someone else. 

I've grown to become a guiding light for someone else,

never have I ever been so astonished by the times changing.
