Although ambition by itself is a good thing,
it's not to be cheaply wrought,
a lesson we have forgot,
in these times,so fraught.
Who am I?
An idea sold and bought,
I lost myself in a lie,
believing what I was taught.
Ambition is a good thing,
not to be cheaply wrought,
or loose the entire lot,
of self respect you've got.
Who am I?
An idea sold and bought,
I waived goodbye,
to watch myself die,
reborn in the immage of a lie.
Ambition by itself is a gift,
never to be cheaply wrought,
If only I had been taught,
before society's views of what's hot,
caught and brought me,
to a place where I can't see,
whatever it was,
that used to make me,me.
