He inherited your empire, but not your experience
You stepped away — and the cracks stepped in
They gave him the stage, but you were the script
He carried your title but collapsed under its truth
You were the reason it rose — and the reason it returned
They replaced legacy with last name
He held your spot, but couldn’t hold it together
You didn’t take it back with noise — you took it back with results
The son wore the badge — but you were the battle
You didn’t lose your place — they just lent it to the wrong man
