The Unsanctioned Regime
What was once tolerated is now outlawed. Vile and ever so incompetent. The end of days is nigh but you pay it no mind. The quest for freedom is a perilous one. I fought off the raiders but you were always the most powerful one. A force that neglected my entire existence. Invalidation was the worst form of abuse you could ever do. You wanted spineless devotion but my backbone wouldn't operate like that. I've always been the committed one while you only demonstrated turbulence. You massacred those who dare to reveal your true nature. A bloodbath reserved for radicals and criminals. Our complex system deteriorated because I refused to bow down. You had no choice but to abdicate, to resign. These walls have been fortified in case I ever appear weak again. You would take advantage of any slim opportunity to watch me suffer. Obsessed with maintaining control to exert your power over me. You would die were it not for painful worship from me. You were always a detriment to my devotion. I begged for you to meet me at my high standards or don't meet me at all. You couldn't rule over this regime because it wouldn't allow itself to be ruled. The traitor was never me but you instead. A military coup was never in the works but the dissidents are closing in. The rebel fighters are knocking on the palace door. They've not come for your apologies but for your head. I thought I loved you. I had convinced myself I couldn't survive without you. That I couldn't do any better and that asphyxiation equaled loyalty because I knew nothing else. I bombarded you with selflessness while you weaponized my lack of reassurance. You squandered any hope we had at civilized reconciliation. You were skilled at failed propaganda and fake news. Your treachery will fall before your treasonous lies ever will. You exploited every inch of my sanity all for your egotistical agenda. Your prepared speeches never addressed your true intentions. Your authority was never voted for, it was institutionalized. You wanted a fight to the death but I just wanted my distance. I just wanted my peace and freedom. You can continue to live in whatever delusional reality you choose. Play the victim while you control the narrative. I don't care anymore. I'm the infidel you couldn't kill. I'm the savage rogue you could never own. I pledged my life to you but now that pledge belongs to me. No more coercion from a bloody tyrant. You are beyond the point of redemption, of salvation. What's your contingency plan, thief? You can't barricade yourself on your illegitimate throne. Your lack of conscience is your undoing as your empire lies in ruins. The civil war you created is now tampered with explosions and perpetual chaos. The bombs are falling and it will soon be time to rejoice. The fighter jets are approaching and the fires of sedition are on arrival. Your sins are no longer incurable. You provoked enemy wrath and will obey future consequences. The burden of service is not your responsibility anymore. Step down or we will make you step down. The gates have been breached and we have come for our revolution. The army is full of resistance soldiers. The gunfire is right next door. Be brave for once, my ruthless captor. Face the end of your dynasty and these protests will cease. The catacombs are sealed off. There is no farewell escape. Throw your false crown into the ashes of your failed oligarchy. We wave the flag of proposed prosperity. You have been defeated, my former love. The dictator has fallen. The unsanctioned regime has crumbled. We are finally free.
