Creative Desperation

Will I take responsibility 
For the words that I speak
In the desperation of life
I've looked for answers
And surrendered the bleak
Emotional addictions
That have harried this climb
Is it
Needing Love or Truth
Shapeshifting roles
To encounter myself
At the barrier
Of now and beyond
Creativity comes suddenly
An impulse will speak
Watch environment melt away
Thoughts purify in sync
