Follow The Lead:

My mind was always subtle to a fault, 

"Never settle for anything less",

They would tell me repetitively,

But what I thought, thought was for perfection,

My heart was always flying into the wind,

My smile chased with a slide of vodka,

All these years my love was a lie,

But what I didn't know was that life gave my a lesson,

My feet was always too quick to stand still,

I had jumped and skipped too far for too long,

My body tired and sore from the beatings,

But what I never knew was that this was only the beginning,

My eyes stayed focused on my own form of beauty,

You had given me the eyes that I needed,

Life had given me a handful of grenades,

But I just made some tasty lemonade.
