Ambition

 

Take me away, I want to go…

Past those who are here and those to come.

 

Rapid fast, please,

Life here is too slow for me.

 

I am the messenger,

I ride on his wings.

 

I want to gain,

I want to show,

I want to be bold and hold the sky and earth together,

…and be the glue that sets it in place.

 

It’s ambition…in an odd way,

Not as you would think.

Some people say they want to do a difference,

But I don’t understand that.

I am already out the door and down the street.
