Happiness

A Poem by ClosedEyesOpen
"

I like it. Read and review for some thoughts on this. Thank you.

"
I reach for it
But I seem to just brush the surface
I want it all though
So I'll keep trying

Try
That is what everyone around me keeps telling me to do
I am so tired of trying
Reach harder

I can't seem to grab it
It won't come to my rescue
It does not hear my cries to come closer
I am left without

Try
I must
Everyone talks about how it is worth all of this
I don't know if i believe them

I've had a taste
I want more
Desperate to achieve
Fail, try again.

Try
Can't let all of you down
I'm suppose to be standing tall
I want it so bad, reach harder.

I am reaching so far
I am stretching to my limit
I am always going to try
I just don't know if it will ever be mine...

This thing called happiness
