Passively in Charge

September 14, 2006

Recently, a lot of people told me they expected me to be the first one to break down. They thought I couldn't handle it. But I passed that excruciating test with flying colors — going even beyond the call of duty. Boy, were they surprised! Some even sought my "services" should they need it in the future. But that got me thinking. What did people of think of me? A weakling? Please don't be fooled by my demeanor. I do have strength should the situation call for it. It's just that if someone wants to take the lead and responsibility, but all means, knock yourself out. I'm not going to stop you. But if no one wants to step up to the plate, that's when I take the rank of a captain. But please don't think I'm invincible for I am not immune to battlescars. I just don't wear them like badges of honor. I hold them close to my heart where only my God can see.
