Got it? Get it.

I had it, but I lost it...

I couldn't remember where it was.

I went looking for it...

Then I forgot what I was looking for...

Then I forgot why I was looking.

I worked very hard

Trying to understand why I felt

Something was missing.

I was frustrated, tired,

Angry, resentful...that

I couldn't understand.

I begged, pleaded, cajoled,

Prayed, all to no avail.

One day, I couldn't take it anymore...

I gave up trying to understand.

At that moment it appeared:

Everywhere in front of me.
