How ironic it is
to want something so bad
that the moment you have a chance at it
it suddenly doesn’t mean half as much
It’s as if your purpose
stemmed from your yearning
and all you had to do was have it in reach
for everything to fall in place
So what do you do when
everything is still in pieces
The thing you were dreaming about
ends up different than your fantasies
You end up so focused on the finish line
that you don’t realize
that the path you neglected on the way
might make you happier
Maybe that’s the way we are
Constantly chasing after the next thing
to keep our hearts pumping double speed
Instead of finding the satisfaction
in stability
Or maybe this is me
getting exactly what I asked for
and realizing that I never wanted it
in the first place
Maybe I’m finally realizing
that I’m better off without you
That I can make myself happier
than you ever could
than you ever will
