Something Out of Reach

Something out of Reach

I tried to grab it, I lost my grip
It fell out of my future out if my hand 
Let's see where should i began 
I ran but then I fell 
Landed in a wishing well
Threw a coin in
Made a wish 
Open my eyes 
And just stared 
I was out of reach to someone who cared
I was spared, spared my feelings
My wounds, still needed healing 
From the past
Reaching for something, that would last 
I reached for determination
I reached for dreams
I reached for goals 
I reached for everything in my control
And something  believe me 
It was time to go, time to reflect 
It was time to find respect 
That was given to me as a person 
I was reaching 
For a discussion, a conversation I was trying to speak 
When somethings became out of reach
