Seemed like you were untouchable, a demigod of sorts,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Worshipped by the majority, certainly by those you keep close,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Feared by a few, out of envy to be sure, but also by those meant to play the blues,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And you were no exception, the quiet, weedy and non-athletic, you walked all over \u2018em,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How ironic that you\u2019re iconic, yet in this regard you\u2019re no different from the general population,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As the de-facto ruler among your peers, could have ruled a kingdom more harmonious,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can\u2019t fight the laws of nature so your approach mirrors something more despotic,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seems your profile hinges on equal doses of love and hatred,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
High on life, drunk on perceived power, seemingly unaware that this can\u2019t last forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And that was the peak, wasn\u2019t it? Been how many years now, how\u2019ve you been?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The cap and gown came and went, that rep ain\u2019t made it past the gates, should\u2019ve planned ahead, now it\u2019s too late,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
May have been royalty back then but out here just a commoner and a peasant,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Grinding like the rest, one step at a time, for that all-important check,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Still kicking it with your crew? Maybe not, here\u2019s some news for you,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some might have been loyal, others low-key indifferent, just using you for clout and nothing more, it\u2019s a different story below your proverbial horse,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And now you\u2019re wondering why it don\u2019t come easy, they were different times,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They you dunked are probably doing better, still leveling up overtime while you\u2019re old and past your prime, likely feeling bitter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once you were high and mighty, fixed on that bullshit hierarchy,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Looking up now, perhaps, at whom you once looked down,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Old tales been recycled many times over, they ain\u2019t trying to hear it now, why haven\u2019t you written something new, anyhow?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Maybe you\u2019re doing fine, perhaps better off than most,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kudos to you if that is so, some stay stuck and can\u2019t let go,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But if not then that\u2019s on you, all the eggs in the basket too soon,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Went all-in with no long-term, it\u2019s different out in the great wide world,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Had it all then lost it, peaked too soon, now a has-been,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Back in the valley, chasing past glories, forevermore, it seems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
