Hunger


In my chest beats the heart of a warrior.

You won't outwork me.

When everyone else wants to go home, I'm just getting started.

When the hearts of many have gone cold, I'm warm as a sunspot.

You won't. I will.

You can't. I can.

You refuse. I'll do it proudly.

I'm past letting the word "no" stop me. My pursuit is relentless. My focus is laser.

My passion drips from my every pore.

My work ethic is unmatched.

I think 25 steps ahead.

So, if you're thinking of challenging me, you already lost. I'm hungry.
