Ponderings

What is it about the chase?

And why don’t we trade it for love?

Why do we only want things until we have them

And then they’re not enough?

Why do we always crave

What will only ever hurt us in the end?

What is it about the unattainable

That captures so much of our attention?

Is it the thrill of victory?

The sweet taste of the win?

Is it on the power and control

That we ride high until the end?

Do we self sabotage or is it

Our arrogance whispering that we’re the exception?

Is it human nature seeking new heights

Or the fear that something had can be taken?
