Ambition

This is a poem I wrote last year in Creative Writing. I was just thinking about how I had so much on my mind, but none of it wanted to form into words. Therefore, I decided to go to something I had already written, and though this doesn't encompass all of my thoughts, it depicts some of them.


Ambition

dreaming dreams
striving for reality
wishing
hoping
falling short
getting up
pushing harder

dreams shattered
crushed
broken
hopes scattered
lost

afraid to speak
to say out loud
let others see my dreams?
makes failure harder
torturous

glimmer of hope
a chance
a possibility
is it worth it?
risking it all?
allow such vulnerability?

to step off the edge
into the unknown
nothing to grasp
to soar?
to crash?
which will it be?
will I attempt it?
