You
Launched high into the
Sky
By ambition
Graduated.
I just couldn’t
Help myself
Dreaming of the clouds
You see.
Wet,misty,cool
You know,
Ambition killed Macbeth
So if a forest chases you
Chase it back
Because
Down here
It is
Coffee mugs
And key chains
But you
Are the young and brave
Above the world.
Don’t fall.
