A LONELY LEADER
<p><span style="background-color: transparent;">I gave them everything.</span></p><p>The money. The direction. The rules. I built the system and placed myself at the center of it. I told myself this was leadership. Responsibility. Strength.</p><p>But leadership turned into control. Control turned into distance. And now, when I look around, I don’t see friends. I see dependents.</p><p>They laugh when I enter the room. They agree too quickly. They never challenge me. Everyone around me needed something from me, and that’s how I knew none of them knew me.</p><p>And somewhere along the way, I stopped trusting affection that wasn’t earned through obedience.</p><p>So I tighten my grip. I test loyalty. I move the goalposts just to watch who keeps chasing. Power is the only language I’m fluent in now.</p><p>The irony is brutal:</p><p>I wanted influence so I wouldn’t feel alone.</p><p>Now I’m surrounded—and completely isolated.</p><p>No one knows me.</p><p>They just know what I can give… or take away.</p><p><br/></p>
