I am the best, the greatest,
there will never be another
that could ever compare to me
neither in stature nor social flair.
Another thousand followers
determined to watch my every move.
Equaling a million more dollars
to spend in any way I choose.
To get to this height I left behind
all those low on the totem
who didn’t dare dream as big,
their support going unnoticed.
Flashing lights blind us as
plasters smiles are photographed.
We post together for posts
to be shared to the masses.
Small talk and empty promises
are exchanged then back
to my empty mask on I trek.
Not a soul greets me on my return.
As I lounge on my throne I ponder
if this life I live is worth it,
to have that which I’ve always wanted
and no one to share it with.
Why, absolutely…
