It Is What It Is

There you have it...
                    Do you have it... 

                              Can you get it...
                                             Do you want it...

Of course we do, who wouldn't, wouldn't you
          Because it's it and it is what we all want, it's true

The answer to the question you needed to know
         There you have it...

Finding the missing pieces to your puzzles
          Do you have it...

Figuring out where you can get what you need
          Can you get it...

Knowing that you have all you desire
          Do you want it...

Of course we do, who wouldn't, wouldn't you
     It is everything that we want or need materialistically
          It is all that we've found that was thought lost
               It is what we're searching for throughout time
                    It is everything real, fake, or pretend
                         It is nothing if we don't want to share it
                              If it were true then it would never be false
                                   It would be something else it's not meant to be
                                        It is everything, and it's nothing

Do you have that certain it inside of you
     Of course you do, we all do
          You just have to find it
               Uncover it
                    Embrace it
                         Love it

And live happily ever after with...it...

                          It was written for contest: "IT"
                          
Note: Yes IT is in a strange format but I formatted IT like this
 to prove the titles point of, "It Is What It Is" and nothing else

A myriad of question and answers concerning the ever elusive "IT". I like the format used as it keeps the readers eyes moving in a rhythmic search for "IT". Thanks for entering the contest
