Ambition

He gazed at the stars.

Thoughts of failure shunned,
from his soul,
enveloped in an aura of passion,
as every breathe desired victory.

He loved to be unique,
surging ahead,
thirsting for knowledge,
in a twisted epiphany of self-being.

Leaving his world,
he moved away simply to find,
a plethora of uncertainties,
encompassing his ego.

Battling fiercely he discovered,
the futility of his labour,
his dreams shattered into a million pieces,
as innumerable as the stars.
