Want

It’s almost in my grasp,

The end goal,

Something that I wanted

And didn’t even know.

 

I clench my fist tighter

Hold onto the dream

That I want so bad

But the tighter I hold,

The quicker it starts to slip.

 

How is it that

what we want the most

is the thing that’s

the hardest to attain.

 

Does wanting something

Make it harder to get

Or does the challenge

Make you want it

In the first place?
