Ambition

We humans are so weak

We need so many things to survive

Breath, water, light, food

How many breaths we breathe daily

How much we require water

Everything dries up

Blood dries and flakes

Humor dries

Loves fade

And still we need so many things

I dream of being entwined

Wrapped around another soul the same

Sharing the same breath

So many we’ll require

This energy we pull in and take for granted

And act as if we know why

Or forget we never could

I dream of love

And knowing how many times I’ll lose it all

I change nothing

I have no ambition

I love
