Chasing This Mythical Creature

We are all stuck in our heads

We want to be happy, but our happiness often revolves around the unhappiness of others

It is what we all long and search for 

We spend our entire lives searching for it, and sometimes we get a tease of what its supposed to be, when it sets on our shoulders

But then we move or someone makes a sudden movement and it flies away

So were back to chasing it 

We chase after it like children chasing an ice cream truck, in the hopes of being able to have it in our hands one more time

In the hopes of being able to feel it again 

And we are invested, so invested in catching up that we neglect to look around 

Neglect to realize that there are resources that others who are also chasing their own posses that can all come together to make a net to help us catch it together

But even then, sometimes when we finally catch up to it, and we hold it, we realize that it was not all that it was cracked up to be that the colors that we saw from a far were not as fluorescent as we thought they were.
