Desperation (POEM)

Desperation

I'm desperate for clarity
Desperate to know,
Desperate for understanding,
Desperate to show.

I'm desperate for passion,
Desperate to feel,
Desperate for connection,
Desperate for something real.

I'm desperate for Change,
Desperate to improve,
Desperate to avoid the darkness,
Desperate to begin to move.

I'm desperate for happiness,
Desperate to be at peace,
Desperate for serenity,
Desperate for pain to cease.

I'm desperate for security,
Desperate to be safely guarded,
Desperate to feel comfort,
Desperate to be kept and not discarded.

I'm desperate for someone to love me,
Desperate to be esteemed,
Desperate to be cherished,
Desperate to be redeemed.

I'm desperate to avoid destruction,
Desperate to become whole,
Desperate to be worthwhile,
Desperate to save my soul.

I'm desperate for an answer,
Desperate for to finally see,
Desperate for things to make sense,
Desperate to be me!
