Ambition and its Associated Problems

Ambition and its Associated Problems

Drive is good: steadying, and exciting, and adding momentum
(If not always direction)
And laying down that reassuring future
That you then battle to preserve the vision of.

First problem; the vision may be corrupt,
Not achievable,
And yet you may still fight for it,
Eventually achieving something similar.

This isn't really a problem, looking at it.

Problem; ambition isolates, its grammar necessitates
Jettison of hindering impulses
Those impulses can come from close sources -
A boyfriend say, or a family.

It can get quite lonely at the top
And sparse, barren and cold at altitude.
And there are always other peaks.
You do have to come down.
You fall further.
Decisions get harder
There are tears
There are

There is further to fall,
But you're going to die anyway,
So you might as well keep on climbing.

There is a multicoloured angel world of infinite rewards
somewhere,
Alternately light and extremely hard
Bright and extremely slick.

A Warning
The Superhuman is close to inhuman and you have to ask,
Is it wisdom when you deceive somebody?
