Prompt #69 “A Dream Come True?” - Ambition

-->
You aimed high,
The sky you said.
It was a driving ambition
Nothing would stand in your way
Including me
Friends
Decency
Wisdom.
You trampled on the lives of others
But you did succeed.
You have to gold office
Plush chair
Secretary with benefits
(Your words not mine).
A wife who complements you
A family the envy of most.
You have it made
Except, where are the friends?
The ones who stood by you?
The mates who took you in on those dark nights?
There’s a price you pay
You don’t see it
Oblivious to others
Now its all me me me.
So while you have it all
There’s only one way to go now
And it’s a long way down!
