AMBITION: A Mindset

When I was naïve,
No bigger than my spaceship,
I was going to be everything.
I was going to be a fireman,
An astronaut, a princess, a pirate,
I was going to be everything.

When I was interested,
No bigger than my school bag,
I thought about being everything.
I was going to save people in a fire,
Visit a planet, live in a castle, sail the seven seas,
I thought about being everything.

When I was cool,
Just as big as my ego,
I didn’t want to be anything.
I was going to pass my exams,
Travel the world, sleep all day, discover myself,
I didn’t want to be anything.

When I was sensible,
Smaller than the world,
I wanted to have everything.
I wanted to have a mansion,
Drive a Ferrari, Have a perfect family, Get a good job,
I wanted to have everything.

When I was realistic,
A small, conscious being,
I knew I aspired to have and be
More than I needed or could possibly reach.
Despite my varying- some strange- premonitions,

What maintains my curiosity is always ambitions.
