Desperation

Ever strived so hard
that hope blinds you

Or tried to shed skins and wear a new one
lost your whole self
into the space of broken promises and love

Ever looked at the brightest star in the night sky
believing she is watching over you too

Been desperate for one answer?

One reason

That you could alter
to just not be at the end
of blurred dreams, fading romance
Sad stories engraved on rocks

If you had, you would know
Desperation is not a person.
It is a phase.
