She was a girl on a mission.

She was on a chase.

An invisible chase.

A never-ending chase.

She chased and chased, until she ran out of breath.

She stumbled and fell many times.

One day she stood up and stopped.

What was she chasing she asked?

She was chasing the invisible.

She was chasing a shadow.

A shadow she could never catch.

She was chasing a ghost.

A ghost she could never see.

Then she got tired of the chase.

She ended the chase because,

What she chased she already possessed.

She finally stopped the chasing and found herself instead.
