Tumbleweed in the Park of Ambition – Written Monday 23rd July 2007 (Aged 32)

Tumbleweed in the Park of Ambition

who am i,
and what do i want to achieve?
the answers do not arrive quickly
not as quickly as hope leaves
what is my life plan
and what do i want to own?
who am i,
and is any of it actually known
a tumbleweed in the park of ambition
so easily blown
me, trying to come up with a plan
even at my age,
trying to cope with so many doubts
trying to calm my rage
who am i,
what pages,
and what chapters am i reading?
the questions continue to stack up
and as i watch my hope leaving
the answers never come flooding back
