I’ve stepped into another’s spotlight
The light had shone on their glowing face
Now it’s on mine
Subversive
Unintentional
Accidental
It has led me here
Where I have a foothold
And gained what I wanted
I had not meant to push
Did not mean to sabotage
But I couldn’t help it
Now I sit here with a throne
And end in sight
As my fingernails dig into the chair for grip
