He took your seat, but couldn’t handle the heat
They fired the mind and kept the mess
You were the force behind the fortune
He didn’t fail because he wasn’t you — he failed because he never listened
They gave him your work — but not your wisdom
The empire didn’t collapse — it rejected the impostor
You didn’t get revenge — you restored balance
He wore your crown but never earned your calluses
You didn’t take it back out of pride — you took it back out of principle
They underestimated you once — never again
