#ambitious
In our actions lies our well-being.
We rise each day,
Do our work with courage,
Shining like the sun without fear.
Ambitious,
We strive to make everything work,
Perfectly, seamlessly.
But then,
We become obsessed with glory
Craving recognition,
Longing for appreciation.
Who doesn’t want others to be proud?
Yet this desire builds a cage
A prison of expectations
Where our happiness becomes theirs to decide.
We can’t control their reactions,
Their thoughts, their praise,
Or what they expect from us.
So instead,
Let us take joy in the doing
Find freedom in our intentions.
Not to be thanked,
Not to be seen,
But simply to live… freely and fully.

When I was a youth
I was busy, busy, busy,
rushing from one activity to another
ambitious for success,
but I was unhappy
because I was too busy
to care for my mind,
my mind was suffering and confused
with many bottled-up emotions and thoughts;
Now that I’m wiser
I realise
what I need
is to take time-out
to care for my mind:
to introspect into my emotions and thoughts
to express to myself my emotions and thoughts
to become aware of my emotions and thoughts
to evaluate my emotions and thoughts
to improve my emotions and thoughts
until I have achieved wisdom
about what I can do
to achieve my joy and happiness.

I’m a paradox.
I say I don’t care,
when I really do.
I say I don’t need someone
to ask me how I am,
while I am longing them to.
I say my voice matters
and act as though it doesn’t.
I want someone to know my emotions
when I haven’t told them
and never want to tell them either.
I want to be happy
but I think of sad thoughts.
I am lazy,
yet I am ambitious.
I crave attention,
love and support
but reject when it
comes in my way.
I am strong,
yet run back to the ones who hurt me.
I am a conflicted contradiction.

Do I wish to think?
To dream the unimaginable.
The mind of a viper;
Ambitious swipe towards intent.
Yet, its possessed fangs drip,
Such venom. A gradual drip would
Destroy the work.
“What work?” I hear you ask.
“Exactly” I whisper.
There is none to behold. With all my gall
And flapping gums, such spittle
Did not exist.
I crave to bite the apple of my existence…
Lingering doubt, lingering hope.
Can I foresee the future?
Can I not think?
Sigh
To exist with intent…

Gold melts away
the dark blanket
as if a sign to start
anew
be ambitious
he whispers
no
you answer back
and slowly block the
gold penetrating through the window
with your blanket of doubt

When you were just a little person what did you want to be ?
We’re you motivated to strive for what you see?
Doctor Lawyer Business owner or Actor ; take your pick
But as you gotten older you realize it’s not that easy to get
Ambitious you are you’ll do what it takes
You close your eyes and Dream cause you’ll be there one day

Yes!Yes!
I am ambitious,
At least not pretentious.
I want success,
To top positions access.
I want to make more than enough,
Dough,
To uplift those lesser,
To be better.

sometimes I get
caught
in my ambition; a
venus fly-trap.
people are only
numbers on paper to cull
paintings on canvas to crush
medals, trophies, certificates to
crumble, burn,
charred broken ash;
flies to squash.

I had no ambitions
I had simply an idea
Your the one who volunteered
To bring it to life
You're the one who convinced me
That this could be done
That we would be partners
Throughout it all
Now you tell me
After I spent a month and half
Working on this, and falling in love with it
That it was doomed from the start
You tell me
That it was too ambitious
When honey you were the ambitious one
I was just a creator
Then you tell me
That I'll never succeed
But I'm not the one who bailed
On the one they called a friend
Now I'm the ambitious one
And the one with the idea's
And you're just the one who left
Because he was too afraid to fail

there's a monkey in my television
he doesn't speak well
but he sure talks good
hes a real politician
Mr Do Right
he much appreciates my support
while ******* in every room of the house
marking his territory
which is everywhere
and promising lavender horizons
with words like a luster of stumps
turning lives into vagrant shadows
freezing dreams like skin tags
he's **** high in **** and graft
having *** ******
an
American way of life
while he grandstands
riding a tricycle on the ceiling
all business like
a lazy worthless *******
with a slush fund
and no limit to what he will do
flanked with mullah lawyers and the clergy
minions lackeys and body guards
he sits terminal
upon a throne
like a jagged mouth
sure to be swallowed
struggling against the menacing whispers
of those do wrongs and the unborn
world soul disgruntled
a slave to being a tyrant
ready to **** all transgressors
of his vainglory
and a willing toilet mouth
to all above
gobbling and grateful
when they flush
the god of money ******
leading by example
and
serving with distinction

Money hungry & ambitious
I plan to do it all , no more dreaming or dam wishing
I swear..to stay keen to my intuition
I feel artistry is my mission, if it wasn't, a part of me would be missing
failure is a place where goals have no existence
Instead I travel to victory in the distance
I was lacking in motivation
luckily I had the patience to gather determination
then lather this urge to make it
In a place where all can embrace it
I'm abstract in a way...I use math in this case
to subtract and decay the negative vibes away
to positively portray my energy within waves
I've simplified this array, I guess I strive every day...

She just wanted her Man
To become a dreamer
A dreamer of life and what's next.

Like a resort as you drift off at sleep,
another world is waiting for you to keep.
Where is your body when you are in your dream,
Is everything really what it seems.
In dreams, what you want comes true,
Just let your dreams take you.
Into an imaginary land,
where you are the author,
Where things have no meaning,
And you have no feeling.
Where your thoughts all drift together.....
Just don't get caught in your dreams forever

She doesn't sleep
Let alone eat
She's starved
She's living hour by hour with a cup of coffee in her hand
Tired and deprived of 'liesure time'
You won't hear from her
She's not dead
But it's practically the same
Why is she doing this?
You know the girl that people made fun of?
You know the girl who's dad broke her heart before any boy could?
You know that girl .
She wants to prove everyone wrong
She wants more
Never satisfied
She wants it all
She wants to be happy.
So she does it for her self
She studies all night long
She studies until 6 a.m before the exam ,
Grabs the biggest cup of coffee
Then goes to the one place she hates
All because she wants to be happy.
At the end of the day,
We hurt ourselves,
because we want to be happy .

Today,
I work work work
and give give give.
Hoping
that one day,
enough,
will be enough.
Hoping that one day,
my kindred spirit will come to an end.
Hoping that I will receive love, compassion,and unity.
Finding myself,
while finding ourselves,
together.
We work work work
and give give give.
Forever

There are the highs and lows.
High
When praise is the light
That glides you down
The corridors of life.
When you've been smoking
All night
Your in another world.
Low
You walk around unnoticed,
Scraps in the wind.
Peoples words pound the
Deepest walls of your self esteem.
High
Confidence.
Fire.
Ambitious.
Low
Depression.
Dark.
Pain.
But sometimes, there will come a time when you can't tell them apart.
Where the difference between high and low in like trying to figure out if you rather freeze to death or burn to death.
No matter which you choose, they're both lethal.

She has a way of tormenting you
In every direction you try take
She gives you a curfew
Hoping, probing, that you, too, slip through the cracks.
I wanted to be a astronaut
To explore the universe
To find my destiny
Through the black hole
And out
Spaghettified or not
When my now cuffed-mind
Soared the air
With wings dispersed in the wind
Still when she didn't care
And thought I was harmless
She tried shooting me down
And got one through a wing
Now I think I want to be an accountant
Mediocre and sane
But who wants to have sanity
When you can be in it?
So I crashed into Hyperion
And as high as I am
She still sends her vicious winds
To try and cut me down
But her torment crafts precious stones
So in the interim
I'll hold on
Hoping that I can un-cuff my mind
Keeping a birds-eye view
Like a leopard waiting for its ****
So that one day
I can glide the universe
Wings distributed out wide
Skillful and experienced
So she can never shoot me down
Now
Perched on Hyperion
Patient and vigilant
I wait
