fingertips

its almost in your grasp and you feel it slipping away.

what now?

if you let this slip away, there wont be an "oh well theres always next time".

this is what you want, this is your life.

this is all you know.

what do you do, if all you know, ends up amounting to nothing because of chance and circumstance meaning you miss out?

the worst part is that even the bite-sized versions of this catastrophe, you look back on them, and they were up until now, your greatest failings.

so what do you do? grab everything within reach and fight tooth and nail?

what if that isnt what will determine it?

what if its too late?
