Seemingly Out Of Reach

Can you ever find that thing

You’ve been searching for

It’s right in your reach

But as you try to grasp it

It only seems to soar

Making you want that thing

Even more

Should you give up

Or continue to try

To get what you want

Even though it makes you cry

As you ask yourself why

Does it have to be this way

Why can’t I have what I want

Knowing it won’t forever be mine

And will leave me one day

Why can’t I find it

What can’t it be

Home come what I’m searching for

Doesn’t come to be

Because maybe what I’m searching for

Is not looking for me

So I go on in life

Wishing I had what I wanted

But it never came to be

Wanting it so bad

It made me blind

So I couldn’t see

Only to open my eyes

And realized

Life is but

A Dream
