Act I.

You tell me to lead,
Not leave
Well it’s simply not that simple

You see
My eyes are closed and I’m balancing
With hands clasped in yours
I feel safe
You truly make me happy
You choose where I go and I trust you
And I don’t have to have a say in this blind following

Leading instead of blindly following
Would suddenly make me responsible for where we go
Eyes opened, my balancing act would become reality
With a conscious decision I could no longer feign ignorance…innocence
I’d see the frowning spectators
Telling me to jump down off that shaky line

I want to lead
But
You see,
In order to lead, not leave
I’d have to leave a different reality
And I’m torn in this balancing act

There’s more than one thing to balance here
I’m begging you to see
