Urge to be The Creator


I want to lead, not follow.

 I want to speak, not listen. 

 

I want to I want to be the writer,  not the reader.

I want to be the painter, not the admirer. 

 

I want to be the creator, not just

the creation

 

but

 

there is no fruit for one

who writes but not reads

who paints but not admires

 

for,

 

without first following,

one cannot know how to lead 

 

without first listening,

one will not be listened to

 

Imerse yourself

in your passion,

 

then only can you

inspire passion in others;

 

then only can you be

the creator.
