Desperation

The feeling of complete loss
So you start needing something, attention, love, sex,
You feel broken
Deprived of your sense of self
Your reactions delayed
Questioning everything you do
Wondering if you'll ever survive
Hoping that you're strong
Wishing that something will fill the never ending void that is desperation
The non-light bearing void that destroys happiness and abuses emotion
So you shun
You shun your personality
Become jaded and faded
Get high and intoxicated
Let your worries fall away as your brain deteriorates in your skull
It starts dripping through your mouth
The bullshit that takes you south
But when you become sober
You realize it'll never be over
That desperation is not cured by drugs
It's cured by love
So go get some hugs
No more blunts
Do some stunts
Make some friends and don't wallow
Because then you will be shallow
Don't use people to fill the void
Use kindness and buy kids toys
