Self-Torture vs. Non-Stop Speaking

There are two classes of people—
The leaders and the wanderers.
In life, the leaders are the puppet masters or puppeteers.
The wanderers are the puppets.

These simple wanderers fade into the scenery,
As if they are the eternal backdrop of the world.
Wanderers hold their tongue and act modestly.
They wait until the right moment to speak, then back down anyways.
They scream so loud in their own mind that their eardrums burst from the inside.
They are plunged into silence and their emotional balance is thrown-off.
It’s as if an “outgoing” person is trapped in jail in the mind of a wanderer.
This small mind-jail is full of self-torture, sadness, and guilt.

It’s just as terrible when the “outgoing” person is trapped in the body of a leader.
Leaders are not always helpful. They are not always good people.
It is a horrible feeling when a mouth never stops, against the will of the individual.
The therapies and doctors cannot take away the permanent “leader” personality.
Leaders do everything to stop being puppeteers.
No one wants the pressure of physically moving and speaking for the quiet puppets.
Being a puppeteer is completely horrid,
The decisions they make on a daily basis cannot be reversed or changed.
Leaders will never admit it; however, they long to become a wanderer.

The world says be a leader!
When that simple wish comes true, those new leaders hate themselves.
Wanderers long to know how a leader feels.
Leaders despise wanderers because of their own envy.

These puppets are surrounding the puppeteers—
That boy visibly in pain at school,
That neighbor that has painfully sad eyes,
And even that teacher who breaks down often.

Likewise, puppeteers mingle among the masses—
The varsity football player who laughs at his classmates,
The social butterfly that talks to everyone,
And even your best friend that hides their past.

As wanderers beautifully drift along the highway,
the leaders drive the trucks accelerating uncontrollably with no brakes.
Wanderers drift to the middle and are tragically dissipated.
All of the leaders feel the impact of taking away the wanderers of the world.
The impact pushes both the leaders and the wanderers into dramatic actions.

Sometimes, a person is given characteristics of both a wanderer and a leader.
Those are the people with the saddest eyes and the deepest thoughts.
They are also the most loyal friends and the most uplifting individuals.
Those are the “best friends” of the world and the people who need the most support.
