The Power of Our Desperation

the power of our desperation ---------------------------- when the river of time is choked with debris and i can no longer sail against the tide i must clear the way before me for stopping is a backward ride i am a ship with a fool at the wheel a captain by default, not merit finding it hard to keep an even keel but learning daily a little bit when life is at it's grimmest low and the future looks dark indeed that is a chance to grow to find the strength that we need the time comes when it seems that we can not move ahead as we planned maybe we're following phantoms or dreams and not taking time to understand the more we want something the harder we try though we don't always know what we need it's never enough ju8st to get by we must have goals, and strive to succeed when the want and the need are the same and failure is not a choice at all then burns brightest the flame heaqrts commit and spiorits stand tall this is the power of our desperation an addicts end to avert we need not cling to justification or suffer old pains that still hurt with an honest and fearless point of view we can see deeper and clearer the truth with work we can regain and renew the joy of life from our youth
