I don’t compete I occupy Room shifts When I arrive Not louder Not cruel Just calibrated Rule by rule Hands off the crown It’s not for play You want the throne Build your own way Hands off the crown No reaching down No testing weight Of what I found I forged this In quiet heat In closed doors On steady feet You see the shine You missed the climb You like the glow You didn’t grind No tugging No try No circling Why If you come near Come correct With clean intent With full respect Hands off the crown Unless you bow Not to me But to your now I don’t shrink To ease your doubt I don’t dim To smooth you out My presence Is not a dare It’s just Fully there Hands off the crown It sits just fine On a sovereign head Aligned with spine No battle cry No thrown stone I hold my ground I own my own If you stand tall Stand beside Not above Not inside Hands off the crown It’s not a test Earned in breath Worn in chest This is not About control It’s about A sovereign soul
