Best Ambition Poems
A Black Woman's AmbitionA black stone with diamonds inside
She shines but you would never know
They hit her but she never falls
They whip her but she never breaks
Speed in her step even though they try to slow her down
Make her fail, just so that they can beat...

Ambition and UAmbitions slide off the tongue as quick as they race through the mind
Ambitions of wealth, fame, health, and all that are sublime
But what is not perceive as recently is the will to actually achieve
The effort, dedication, and strenuous path one takes in order to succeed...

leapfrogging
over one another's
snowy tops
would I be
as alive
if I played
like them
and peaked
above the clouds...

My AmbitionSitting in class bored out of my mind,
If I give up, I'll be left behind.
I just don't 'cause that goes to show,
I have many amitious goals.
Maybe one day I'll be the president,
Or take care of unable residents.
Maybe one day I'll open my own business,
Or find...

Ambition Against PovertyTakes Ambition to overtake poverty
You living a life with odds against you ,
stuck in the phase of being "The Life of the Party"
Now you don't know what to do,
making change is the only result,
time is ticking now you must meet fate
you shouldn't have to...

Dream BigSet your sights high
Follow what your heart desires
There’s nothing you can’t do
With your deepest breath
Take in the universe
There’s nothing you can’t do
Dream your dream in vivid colors
Make it all come true
There’s nothing you can’t do
Live the life your soul desires
There’s nothing you can’t do
There’s nothing...

Between the Extremes - POTDIn the nighttime hours
As the world deftly creeps by
I summon my powers
Spread my wings and fly
Past cotton clouds,
Snow-capped mountains, white
I am lost and I am found
I am beauty and blight
Past the midnight chimes
A soul searching for home
Tangling myself in rhymes
So as to not feel alone
Catch...

DreamDare to believe in your hopes and aspirations
Realize they are your soul's desires
Each one wanting to reach for the sky
Ambition being the fuel of your heart
May your DREAM become your reality

Mind Full, Less MindI walk across myself,
In daily grace,
Lacking that which legs embrace.
I bounce.
And trounce,
And pounce upon,
My mind as if, as if,
I’ve been pronounced.
Aching for a feeling felt,
By those before me freed,
By shadows shaking in cerebral leaves,
Melting nature, neither knelt nor creed.
Undulating evanescence of feeling for a now,
Halt...

Anything GoesA night’s rest is never enough for the city always calls
A new day is like a page flip from the time a night falls
A breakfast can be leftover supper to empty bowls
Or a smile for sparing the lives of crowing fowls
I duck human traffic as...

20 Politicians Standing On a Wall - An Allegory of the Democratic DebatesTwenty politicians standing on a wall
Oh what fun to see some fall,
Blabber, blabber, rue the day
They talk and talk but little say.
Yet they shout and argue too
About what I challenge you
To then repeat what they have said,
The mere thought just blows my head.
Each...

The Weight of HeightsThey called him a child of the sky,
a storm-born spark, a rising sun
His steps were light, his hands were quick,
he climbed before he learned to run
The world below had sung his name,
its voices laced with awe and might
You’ll reach the peak they whispered low,
where all...

Restless Sleeper
Some days, I am a dreamer of the future.
I tend to imagine myself treading paths
I've always dreamed of taking.
At night, before I sleep I try to
Envision myself in a court defending
A client with all my might and knowledge
Mondays, I am an attorney.
Tuesdays, I step on...
