Crown too Heavy

stand tall… they build you up in silence they raise you to the light every step looks certain every word sounds right but something underneath it never quite aligns like a throne that trembles under perfect lines you don’t need to shout it you don’t need to show just a little distance so they never know every fragile moment covered up in gold every quiet fracture never told you can feel it… in the weight… every second… comes too late… crown too heavy… hold it high don’t let them see it slip or slide every step… every move proves a strength you never prove crown too heavy… still you stand shaking just outside their hands you don’t break… you perform like a king inside a storm they don’t see the pressure they don’t feel the strain they just see the posture perfect in the frame every small reaction every guarded breath turns into a distance from yourself instead you can fight it… you can stay… but it never fades away… crown too heavy… hold it high don’t let them see the fracture line every word… every face keeps the mask locked in place crown too heavy… still you stand just beyond your own command you don’t break… you distort every truth you can’t support what if power… is the fear… of becoming… small… in here… crown too heavy… let it fall or it will consume it all every rise… every climb just a war against the mind crown too heavy… choose your ground or be buried in the sound you don’t break… you decide… if you rule… or you hide… …stand tall… © BStur - All rights reserved
