A Fruitless Destination

One of the worst human flaws,
is our choice to reach for happiness,
searching blindly,
desperate for something we slap a label on.

It's so close
that we can almost touch it with our fingertips,
but at the last second,
it pulls away.

And we climb, scramble, dash
for this unknown thing called "happiness".

So caught up in our journey,
that we forget our road is important,
just like our destination.

We jump,
and for one brief second,
we can touch happiness,
before it comes tumbling down,
and we
fall
with
it.
