Ambition

There was something

About her smile

About her laugh

About her eyes

That was empty.

There was something

About her past

About her dreams

About her future

That scared her.

But there was something

About her kindness

About her honesty

About her love

That was bright.

And that's when she knew

There was nothing

Wrong with her.

Because there was something

That kept her smiling

That kept her laughing

That kept her dreaming

That kept her giving

And it over powered all the pain.

That even though

She had every reason to stop

She had every reason to give up

She had every reason to leave it behind

She didn’t.

Because she had every reason

To move

To fight

And to take it with her.
