An ever-existent emptiness

Running after the unachievable

Reaching ever higher, striving to heights like never before.

Assigning value to what is unknown.

Disciplined like no other to reaching the goal

Laser focused to eliminate the chance of failure

Then once you reach it, as you gaze down on the route up, you realise it isn’t enough.

You have gained consciousness.

Your unachievable is now a sorry tick off a list.

There is always a better, there is always a bigger.

Don’t chase emptiness. Because it chases you.
