not just obsessed Poet Free verse

glow

They hold the world in their very hands
holding the hands of many 
They command attention in every room
with not a single doubt or worry
in every circle, there is a space 
always a way to replace 
what they’ve lost and want forgot 
what’s it like to lead the race?
I would love to know what it must be like 
to have such power, to have such might 
when nothing is out of your sight
do they know darkness, living in light?
The root cause of my temptation
lies solely in my satisfaction 
to know respect like your own name,
to be the master of the game 
Everything I’ll never be is everything they have 
and so I fall, every time 
despite the truth, despite the signs 
why would I chase the outcasted race
that mirrors my tired face?
If just right there, I can see a glow 
of something that I just don’t know.
