Identity of Desperation
I am running
Desperately trying to get away
I am away
Desperately trying to get home
I am nothing
Desperately trying to be something
I am everything
Desperately trying to be nothing
I am me
Desperate to be anyone else
I am unrecognizable
Desperate to find myself
When did I become lost?
Trying to find someone else
Walking the wrong path
Soaring too high
I wish my reflection
Was a friend
Instead of
An Enemy
I wish I didn’t reek of desperation
Consumed by a need
To be someone else
Anyone else
Desperation is my identity
Always wanting something
Slightly out of reach
Never happy inside my own heart
Wishing, Wanting
To smile
Because I am no longer running
I have found my home
