Ambitious Hunger

Poem by Compton Wright 

Had a taste of success for the first time as although it was short lived

Its taste was so enriched with happiness and greatness wrapped into one

As I was surrounded by legends and leaders with multi-talented purposes

I felt like I belong here like as if I had a seat reserved for me to join them

But a sudden departure has been taken place and I was left alone here

While a letter was left on the table where my inspirational heroes sat

As the letter was summarizing saying that I have to prove my worth…

Fueled with ambition making an oath that I won’t settle with average

So I raised my expectations upon my actions and thoughts given out

Hoping the work that I created would surpass even the greatest poets

That ever lived to touch a pen or pencil would be scared to pass me

As becoming obsessed with the pursuit of happiness I found myself

Hungering for more diverse ideas, more blueprints, more imagery

As letting my words become so vivid that my poems would become

Not 3rd but 4th dimensional inside your minds to enhance your souls

Letting you realize your supreme potential and invoiced your thoughts

Stop thinking inside that little box that is trapped outside of your creativity

Become more hungry and ambitious for your dreams that you hold onto

As others are happy to be average Joes but I see them as mere jokes

As get used to wisdom and realizing that ignorance is not bliss but disgusting

Instead of looking what inside the box but what’s has grown out outside of it

Feeling so close to succeeding my expectations but the more progress I make

The harder the odds of maintaining success decreases in front of me right now

Yet I feel like this drive of ambition won’t quit the pursuit as this chase I’ve follow  

Will help me reap the rewards of just hard work and determination I given here

Time was good to the young poet as it made him mature and wiser by each day

As this ambitious hunger that feels bottomless only makes me proud to be prideful

As never give up any dreams and continue to try until your heart gives up on you

I’ll meet you at the top and greet you with a warm welcome to your perfect life.
