Covered Ambition

Philip Jones

A hawks eye I had
Grew up to be a blind beggar
A dream I worked for
Turned out to be just a dream
I waited to circle the globe
Now I just circle my home
Wanted to see the stars in space
All I see is stars on TV
Wished to fall in love
Fell in and out of lust
Was such an individual
Became such a clone
Loved the world I saw
Closed my eyes and despised it all
Believed I was unstoppable
Barely could get out of bed
Jewels dangled upon my chest
Bottles and trash litter my mind
I was becoming a someone
But I became a something
