Poetry, what ambitions can do to us.
“I’m a hero”
I exclaimed
And climbed a mountain
To be famed
“And watch me jump
And watch me soar
Oh, mere mortals
It’s too much for
You to take”
I so, so longed
To be renowned
With a plaque of gold
And my experience sold
I want to be the Arm
that battles the Strong
I want to be the Shake
That wields the Speare
So by the top
I take the final stride
To pose before God
And claim pending pride
“I will rattle the world
with one hefty knock
Oh, if only my foot
Hadn’t missed the rock”
