What does it feel like to be chosen?
<p>Be everyone's hero every day but sometimes step away to break down</p><p>Cry and pat your shoulders all by yourself</p><p>Everyone sees you but they don't really see YOU.</p><p>You are lost in the crowd, you carry everyone's burdens and don't need any help when you actually do</p><p>There's no rest in your eyes because every day it is searching&nbsp;</p><p>You want it all to end but you were not informed, it never really ends</p><p>Work is work so you get to it.</p><p><br></p><p>It's your turn and it's your time but you don't know why it has to be you&nbsp;</p><p>Sometimes you never get a complete explanation</p><p>You own the profits and the losses, you choose to take responsibility.</p><p><br></p><p>You see mostly the big picture so you can't let the details get to you</p><p>Because you can't afford to be swallowed in a world of others so you are on your own.&nbsp;</p><p>After all, many are called but few are chosen.&nbsp;</p><p>The road is long and narrow&nbsp;so you start today's journey early.</p><p>At the end of the day; they would say a crown is yours.&nbsp;</p><blockquote>To be chosen.</blockquote><p>Isnt it exceptional? Just a privilege to be distinct, to be separate and called</p><p>To be loved and to be a favourite</p><p>Mighty man of valour, woman you are more precious than rubies.</p><p>Out of the rest, one was enough.</p><p>A remnant will be relevant</p><p>The ones who did little but a lot, the ones who are gifted, the one who mastered things and people</p><p>Only a few, brave.</p><p>Isn't it lovely to be among the ones that cannot be outnumbered...?</p><p>they are wild, they can be dangerous</p><p>they are soft but they could be strong</p><p>they are lions and yet lambs</p><p>they answered the call, they chose royalty</p><p>The world may not be worthy of them.</p><p><br></p><blockquote>"..Even slaves can be on horses' back and princes walk the ground like servants"</blockquote>
