Experience from the sheepfold:
shepherd and sheep
or celebrity and followers
servant or ceo
first or last
I don’t have questions anymore
because I quit
I quit the showmanship
I quit the lying
I quit the inaccuracies
I quit the fake persona
I quit the entitlement
I quit being last
and I quit my future in the sheepfold
six years of learning what I don’t want to be
Maybe God will be gracious
and one day remind you what a shepherd is
maybe not
my own dreams and hopes were put on hold
to serve in a kingdom
that I was mistaken into believing
was THE Kingdom
but fruits have grown
and are there for all to see
that a business has sprung up
no sheepfold here
as our hearts no longer align
and the bright lights
have lured you away
as your watchmen have slept through it all
I leave
I quit
and I offer my sacrifice no more
