THE CROWN
Place it upon your head,
assume a different pose –
tranquil yet radiating grace.
It’s an aura around a king;
never show doubt, never lose your dignity
beneath the crown or it will not fit.
Act like a king. A king esteems himself

Regal demeanor is a king’s entitlement
do not wait for a coronation;
the greatest emperors crown themselves.
Be a KING.
