Six Degrees of Desperation

''Six degrees of desperation"

Empty pockets,
Empty shelves,
An empty stomach, as the sun sets it's empty dreams.

It's a painful flock of headaches! , chest pains! , tears and dark thoughts.

Temptation lurking from behind, on a pocket, on a shelve.

That is when it breaks you down, to bend the rules, as the clock ticks!
You find yourself desperate....
