Desperation

my generation is in need of a desperation a new kind these days it’s not easy to find an utter loss of hope something from which you cannot cope from which you can’t escape where can you turn, when all your “heroes” throw down their capes? desperation like a fish out of water choking on air we breathe it everyday, but how much do we truly care does it even matter? can we even sense the urgency? desperation come on now wake up it’s an emergency an utter loss of hope if you could feel it, could you cope? alone and on your own this desperation is a ravishing hunger one we recognize when we can’t take it any longer come wake up, open your eyes, can you now see the situation is dire desperation the kind we need in this generation my generation, is in need of desperation but hold on now, aren’t we the invicibles young and full of life nothing can touch us right so we take off, we’re in flight Oh we’re good,so good we’re so good at at concealing all of our insecurities their almost invisible behind this facade, lay our secret pains and strife we’re really paperthin chameleons a different color for everytime we feel threatened fragile , at any sign of emotion can’t you sense the desperation a lost cause devoured by desperation blinded, by questions where do we go from here? overwhelmed by out mistakes, we’ve abandoned learned lessons but it’s so clear we can’t see it blinded by our dreams, hopes, and fears desperation look behind all the fog of misinterpretation lets get over what he said or she said please open your eyes desperation and behold the beauty desperation now that you can see it clearly drop your arms and defenses and get past all false pretenses be vulnerable for there’s one who won’t drop in you in his arms so be desperatley, desperate, in despartation he’s the one who’s already bought the youth of this nation so all you others beware cuz we aren’t the lost cause generation so when you’ve lost all hope and you just can’t seem to cope when you’re on your own and you feel alone just know this the desparation you feel it’s the real deal cause Christ can use your desperation and turn it into a new hope, for a new generation these days it’s not easy to find a certian kind a desperation for my generation
