Happiness

The higher you leap for it,

The more it pulls away from you.

You keep jumping,

Determined to have

That elusive dream of happiness.

A lucky few,

Through persistence and trying,

Reach that happiness.

Still others try,

But give up,

Preferring instead

The easy comfort of life’s material levels.

And the rest of us?

We keep reaching for happiness,

Until at last,

We drop

Exhausted to the floor,

Knowing that we will never reach it.

It will always be

Just out of reach.

Taunting us.
