Ambition

To want something so much

It hurts, the heart

The pain no longer felt

Labouring away

No rest, like breath.

Look out the windows at the stars

Surreal it seems

Gazing out at passing hours

Of which Moon won’t tell the time of day

Left to us in sanctity.

Few know this feeling of desire

Oneself to make proud, to see the smiles of those loved.

To want something so much that none understand

How willing you are to stake claim;

That desperation becomes the ultimate aim

On a title that should be your own.

Now is the time to be, to shine

It should not be taken from you.

Focus on what needs to be done

See something with unparalleled clarity

That only you can see,

For it is your own. It always was.
