It?

It's out there, isn't it?
Alll I have to do is reach out and grab it,
So... why am I not grabbing?

Is it like a vine that if I grab for it and miss,
I'll fall to a horrible death?

Is it like a great weight that, if I'm not strong enough
It will crush me?

Is it like a slide that I'll keep going down
 Til I reach the rocky bottom?

What the hell is it?
And why am I so enthralled with it?

Why does it haunt me?
