The Untouchable

we stretch every muscle in our bodies prepared to reach, to jump preparing with hard work, our words, our personalities hoping for the best, planning for the worst We know it's not right We know that it's impossible to reach this impeccable state was to dream our minds tell us no, hearts say yes tears are shed, screams escape but we all try, every waking hour Every day is showtime I reach to touch the untouchable the sheer coating shatters into pieces my mind is torn apart the spirits sigh and take a deep breath there is always a tomorrow until there isn't to much ambition, too much certainty I had fought with every bone in my body to seize an idea sought after, to reach the stars, with no spaceship it can't be done, some things just won't happen yet it had been practiced in every soul in every human being on this planet long before my time we all shatter our dreams knowing that some states can't be reached a mere second can break the chances It does and why do we try to reach it to touch the untouchable and think that one day, just once we could reach up into the clouds and pull down the wild card that gives us what we thought we wanted. The wild card of perfection
