DESPERATION

Desperation is destruction 
It position you
In the side of frustration 
Moving without destination 
Always wanting others approbation 
What the society endows
You always confide in
Can't fight for what you want 
Always fitting into the box.

Desperation 
Is a dysfunction
Instant gratification
Putting you in stagnation 
It breaks you
Making you to be station 
Instead of been flexible 
You become still
Making you mentally ill.

Desperation 
Is manipulation 
Catapulting you into a place 
Filled with commotion 
Instead of promotion 
Blurring your vision 
Blindfolding you from reality 
Into delusions and illusion.
