Ambitious


Sometimes I get this drive

out of nowhere and I want to leave.

I'd like to leave here and strive.

I want to strive on success

and I don't want to know what's coming next.

Because what's the point of adventure

if you know who'll be running next to you?

I want to see the world

I'd like to make my parents proud.

I want to love

I want to finally dream out loud.

 I want to put into action my goals

and ambitions.

Because you're living for you, no exceptions.

To work my ass off and finally see it make a difference.

To smile with a reason

To dance without submission.

Because in the end

what matters is how you lived

and how much you loved it.

Don't waste your years simply dreaming.

Do something about it.
