Heavy Ambitions

As a person, I tried to fly high

But as a man I can’t help but to plummet

I’ve picked myself up countless of times

And deemed it destiny to find resilience

Over and over I made an attempt to soar

To place my self higher and higher

To stay somewhere more superior than the rest

And to stand more privileged than the crowd

Although to fall hurts just as much as the landing

I can’t seem to get use to the pain

To numb myself from this despair

And escape from the clutches of agony

Should I surrender my thoughts of perfection

In this world brimming with defects

To deny myself of this earthly desires

And find bliss only through ignorance

Permanently wound myself in the process

And confuse myself further than I am

By trying to see through the eyes beholding me

When I really should be looking from where I stand

It is torment when I could not find content

But it is bane to settle for anything less

So I ask why did the heavens made life short and limited

But our dreams and aspirations unbound

As I continued this life with heavy ambitions

I’ve became encumbered and weary of the journey

Walking forth without this is undoubtedly easier

But arriving at the end without it is not the same
