In every story there is
A leader
In every song
A soloist
In every race
A winner
But what about
The one who followed
Who sat by the step of ambition
And was lead by others
Where is he?
Who caught the
Leader
When he stumbled
Who questioned
Making the leader develop
Opinions
When the journey is over
Where is he?
He who believed
In the start
Who saw the stars meet the leader
And followed.

Perfect. Absolutely perfect. I loved it. I usually like to give a bit of advice even if it's great, but I can't say anything. Flow, meaning, everything was perfect.
