Alienated Ambition

An ambitious hope opened the corridors of my solitary mind - alone, but I'm not alone - are you attentive? Livin' life like an ordinary man without a plan Isolating myself from the commotion of the crowd - I'm lost in a multitude Enjoying the quietude, it made me calmer than the doves, fluttering before the dawn Negotiating with past ghosts, integrating with my mind's uncanny voice with self-control Acknowledging life's main purpose - there's some space to embrace the void and fill in the gaps The black hole sucked me in into a world of intricate designs Every inch is crafted and painted with passionate, eye-catching glow, admired by all Dedicated to this one and only state - alienated ambition, interesting as a whole and it gets me thinking all the time Animated by the beauty of God's tranquility Marinated in marvel and magnificent might Brought low by the lack of infinite belonging I don't need your cold hands to touch my own (I'll do good on my own on my 1st flight) Torn apart by your temporary affection I expand my mind on the good side of life for once Oh! I need to look on the brighter side of things for real! Note this - follow the train tracks and don't lose track...never look back... march forward in confidence and honor - are you positive? (be praiseworthy and yearn for endurance to keep us motivated and more as our high, divine spirits soar!!)
