The Failed Goal

I grit my teeth as i walk on the fire. Burning my feet, this was the obstacle i had to go through just to get one meaningless thing, but it meant the world to me. My brain kept telling my to give up "You'll never get it! You're not like the others! Give up!" But my heart wanted the opposite. The only thing i was listening to was my heart. For the heart held the most knowledge and the brain held the least. As i was a few feet away from the amazing thing i desired the most, it vanished into thin air and was gone right before my eyes. I did something wrong and a lump grew huge in my throat. My brain laughed at my failure and snarled at it's words "I told you so!" My head hung down and i could feel all the pain i felt on my body, go straight to my heart. For i have failed and have lost the reward. I failed the goal i dreamt of achieving.
