Desperation

Desperation is sweat

Pooling at the center of your back.

It's the taste of a bitter saltiness

On your taste buds.

As every inch of your body

Is preparing itself

For ultimate failure

Where fight or flight

Comes into play.

Desperation is collecting

All your will and thoughts

To one task,

Hoping and begging for it to succeed

While looking calm on the outside

Even though the bitter saltiness

Is present on your tongue

As though you ate a salty dark chocolate bar.
