Ambition is Dead
I want to get involved
There's no point in doing that
I want to apply for this
You're too young for it
I want to take this
There are prerequisites
Why am I not eligible?
Wrong major. Wrong age, Wrong gender
I want to make older friends
Meet more people your own age
I want to go here
It's too early to think about that
I just want to experience the real world
You have your whole life to do that
What if I don't want to be like the majority?
Nobody would take you seriously in the first place
Then I will make them
Don't even try. They won't see you as different
But I am different. I want to make a difference
And you will....later
I am kept in a box, trying to break out
results in more people taping it shut
but I will not stop, because to break out of that box
is when my ambition will encourage innovation.
