Just a Little Farther

That's it,
Keep reaching,
Just a little farther,
You've almost got it.

Don't open your eyes,
Just feel with your senses.
And keep grasping out,
You've almost got it.

Just a little bit more,
Your fingertips feel it,
So tantalizingly close,
Before it disappears again.

Keep clenching your fist,
At empty and desolate air.
Even though Einstein said,
This was insanity.*

Keep stretching and flailing,
In the blind darkness.
Just take care,
To not be bitten.

*Einstein had a quote about insanity. Check it out online.

I'll give a nice compliment about whoever guesses what I was thinking about when I wrote this xD

here's a guess:

trying to reach out and find yourself, well not really yourself but where you fit in society and where your niche is...but going about it the same way you always have just hoping this time it will be different and this time it will work- and the bitten part...the risk you take of being hurt yet again and perhaps the drop in self esteem if things don't work out because you've approached it in the same manner? anywhere near close???
