They say he’s a strong man. That he oozes confidence. That he knows what he’s doing.
Yet he seems to feel afraid. To feel confused. To feel feckless.

He says he’s the greatest. That they should believe him. That he’s all powerful.
Yet he seems to feel small. To feel uncertain. To feel helpless.

He says the others are lying. That they are crooked. That they are corrupt.
Yet he seems to feel anxious. To feel guilty. To feel jealous.

They say he’s a strong man.
Yet he seems to feel weak.
