Ambition, Overnight
I don't care, goodnight.
Well, I know you don't,
But I do.
And it's okay, because
That only
Lights my fucking fire
Even more.
I fail, sure, and have time and
Time again, and
You can shake your head and make
As many discouraging comments
As you'd like but
It won't make a single
Difference,
I know I am better than the sum
Of my mistakes,
More than you think
I'll ever be, and you know,
Something I hear time and time again is that
I should surround
Myself with people who
Support me in what I do,
However I can say now
That motivation
Comes easier to me if I'm facing
Some kind of
Opposition,
Obstacles, one after another
Line my path and
I'll destroy those walls and
Launch myself over
Those hurdles, and do
You know
Why?
I didn't think so,
You've never wanted
Something as badly as I do
Now, let alone have you ever put
In the work,
But I'll tell you now that it is so hard but
It will be worth it,
I've promised myself,
And by all that is well and good I will keep it
Because I have more respect for myself
Than that, probably more than you'll ever have for
Yourself.
So, in response to your words I say
Sweet dreams to you,
And while you're sleeping,
I'll be busy making mine
A reality.
