his mother could not fix it this time
he was ambitious
driven to succeed
stepping on others toes
smashing their fingers
stomping on their feelings
he was determined
single-minded
it was all about him
he had to get ahead
he had been pushed by a zealous mother
who always fixed things for him
he had never been responsible
for his own actions
for his obsessive behaviors
for hurting others
this time was different
his mother could not fix it this time
