Ambition

Not content with what I got.
Want more in the pot.
Bigger car, better house.
Be a man, not a mouse.
Better than those other louts.

One day to be.
The best poet.
You can see.
My name in lights.
I will be the best.
Work hard, no rest.

I can do it.
You will see.
You will pay, to read me.
My words will inspire.
Turn the world, on fire.
It's all inside of me.
