I am a King
I am glorious
I am everything you’re not
I am idolized
I am envied
I am full of wonder
Crowds gather to watch
Hanging by the edge of their seats
They gaze upon my greatness wishing to know my secrets
When I close my eyes I transform into a magical being
Colors fly at me and songs are heard
I am even dazzled by my show
I grow ten feet tall and command the attention both near and far
When I hold so much power
How is it I’m not feared?
Curtains close
The show ends
I am left here hollow
Once adored
Now ignored
My greatness falters
The end of this era
Just as it began
I never thought it could happen
I sit and wait for the day
I hear the children’s laughter
Forgive me
I lost myself
I lost it all for glory
Humbled
Shunned
My days are done
