Ambition

If there's one word that sums up what I'm all about it's "ambitious!"


THE REST OF IT GOES HERE
Ambition
With a lit match I write “sleep” across the dark.
The smoke disappears but I’m still conscious.
The stars still whisper their ridiculous questions.
People around me chatter about trivial matters.
If the night was a blanket I could wrap my eyes,
Replace the moon with a “Do not disturb” sign,
Send the sun to a distant future I’ll never see.
My greatest ambition is to sleep forever someday.
People say just be patient, that day will come.
Guess I’m a little more ambitious than that.
