Ambitions



If I lay down to sleep
It would all seem like a dream
Did I work all that time to achieve nothing
Or is life not really not as I believe.
The work, the sweat, all for it to be a joke
Then I lay quietly in bed
To see if it's real
Myself
I have to poke.
Ambitions do not stop overnight
Not do we achieve them without some pain
The work will pay off in the end
If we stay consistent on what it is to gain!
