the bigger picture

There is always the bigger picture.

That something to work towards -

that something worth fighting for.

It is something I need.

For some reason I am always so close.
So close I can see the outlines of it.
So close that I start to move things around for it -
that I make decisions based on it.

And I start to consider it mine.

Now, I can make plans, but I am not the only planner.

I can want things, but when I don't get them

I have to consider that they would not have been good for me -

that they were never meant to be mine.
