Chasing

chasing after something 
unattainable never leads 
to any were at all that one 
would like to go 
chasing after some external 
object of desire in order to try
and attain internal happiness is
the wrong way to go
chasing external forces 
leads to internal sadness 
when one does not in the end 
obtain the object of their chase
