"Lonely at the Top" by Crysta J Hollenback

They say it's lonely so why not fall.
When you choose to stand so tall.
The sun scorches you from all directions
Every effort to make you hide your imperfections.

Now it's not the sun, no that's just a star
It's the people below that can't see that far
It scares them to have a giant among men
So they mock and they criticize
and gossip among them.

What they tell you is it's lonley at the top,
But what they don't know is you'll never stop.

Fervid. It’s what the painting felt like before it had a name. It’s the feeling that makes your throat tight and your hands steady at the same time. Not passion—that word's been worn smooth. *Fervid* is sharper. Hot, but not loud. It burns clean, no smoke. Can you feel the passion?

70 days. Not because I had to—because I chose to. One stroke per day, no matter the chaos. This is what persistence looks like when you stop waiting for perfect conditions. This is "Motivation."
