To the First Boy I’ve Loved
In a Way that I Will Never Love Anyone Again
They all tell sad stories
About their virginity
And how they lost it
How the moment
Was tinged with uncertainty
How he couldn’t even kiss right
And his fingers were in the wrong places.
I didn’t lose mine
Because I gave it to you.
I knew I wanted to
The second your wild green eyes
Bloodshot with dope
Met mine
And I saw me inside that abyss.
I never thought you’d want me.
I guess you were high enough.
Or maybe when you looked into my innocent eyes
You saw you, too.
The moment your rough fingers
Tore my shirt off
My skin burned
And I knew.
You lit my first spliff
And you didn’t laugh when I coughed.
You didn’t deserve my innocence
I served you on a silver platter
My pure little body
Entangled in your dark arms.
Your tongue tasted of freedom
Your breath was tinged with whiskey
Breathing life into my soul.
I miss you.
You’ve asked me to forget you
Because I was just another one to you.
I said I will.
I lied.
Because I never will.
To the first and only boy I’ve ever loved
In a way I will never love anyone again.

LEADERSHIP EDGE
Leadership is a unique blend of innate talent and acquired skills. Born leaders are naturally gifted with leadership qualities, which they hone through self-observation, self-teaching, and experience. On the other hand, trained leaders are mentored and guided by experienced leaders or mentors. While some born leaders may also benefit from mentorship, their innate leadership characteristics set them apart. The key difference between born and trained leaders lies in their purpose. Born leaders are driven by an inherent sense of purpose, which fuels their passion and vision. Trained leaders, while skilled and knowledgeable, may lack this innate drive. Ultimately, the purpose of leadership remains the same - to inspire and drive positive change. Whether you're a born leader or a trained one, your goal is to motivate your team to achieve greatness. Effective leadership is about harnessing your unique strengths and skills to make a meaningful impact.

Engulfing Light
I have not been very successful in quieting my mind this evening. I find that as time goes by, I find myself in deeper contemplation, in regards to the purpose of my life. I can say with certainty, that thus far, I have had a life, that with all things considered, has been a well lived one.
