Sovereign

Alpha.

Sigma.

Something marketable.

As if men are brands.

As if strength needs a logo.

I don’t posture for rank.

I don’t withdraw to appear mysterious.

I don’t orbit the room.

I don’t flee it either.

I stand.

Not loud.

Not hidden.

Just rooted.

I don’t chase hierarchy.

I don’t resent it.

I accept responsibility when it’s mine

and ignore applause when it isn’t.

I don’t need to dominate.

I don’t need to disappear.

I govern myself.

Crack the ego.

Forge strength.

Choose truth over approval.

Carry the weight, not the reward.

No letter.

No costume.

No fraud.
