CROWN’S TRIUMPH
The summit is finally reached.
Above the clouds, the noise of the world dissolves, leaving only wind and breath—proof of arrival.
From this height, ambition no longer shouts; it listens.
The ascent was not without cost. Wings are torn, the body bears marks of strain, each scar a record of endurance.
Yet the taste of accomplishment arrives like an antidote, dulling pain without erasing it.
Triumph here is not purity, but survival shaped by damage.
