Ambition

Ambition being what it is
It is no great wonder
That I am not familiar with it

Ambition is nurtured by success
Which is a reward I have yet
To experience

Ambition is a motivating force which
Enables one to perform that which he
Has found worthy of performance

Ambition is suppressed by frustration
Whether the result of constant hindrance
Or simple failure

If one day I should awake and find
Myself ambitious I will immediately
Begin to search for the source of my
Disillusionment
