It should be worth it,
I've told myself
countless times,
I believed it
to be true.
Perhaps, it is.
when I cast
a meager glance,
a tiny ray
lights up within me,
adding a burst of flavor
in my bland existence.
But I know
the truth is
that it is
an arm's reach away
and yet not mine.
Oh how it thrills me,
warms my blood,
and I keep going
for that great chase.

You draw the reader into your lines as i was reading voice in my head kept saying you'll get there soon then with the ending looming up was wsiting to find out what it was we were chasing........when i read it again i felt there was no space to allow anythinking on my part till the end. The chase could be anything but that is ok and do i really care what the chase ..not a one...did i enjoy the poem yes the pleasure of the read was mine .Thank You I like the open ending

My impression was that you were chasing life.
It's meaning, and all that things that make it worth living...
...then again that's just my impression.
-you tell me.

an interesting piece...I'm left wondering what it is you're chasing. This leaves the reader to fill in the blanks...insert our own emotions and chase our own dreams. Well done.
