Essays: Desperation

Desperation is wanting something so bad,but it is out of reach & you know it.Seeing it in front of you & knowing you can't have it.Willing to do anything(quite literally anything) just to have.Desperation is the feeling of longing you get when you know there's no hope of you realizing your dream,accomplishing the goal you have worked for,or even over coming the hurdle that has blocked your path.

Desperation is the feeling a mother gets when she is told there is a 50/50 chance of her child surviving an accident,after the initial hopefulness,when the realization dawns that its going to be a hard struggle.The feeling someone gets before someone is deported back to a life of misery & suffering,when all their last ditch efforts to stay fail.

We have all experienced some form of desperation,in many occasions it can make or break a person,it in my opinion what determines our ability to survive.If you cannot survive desperate times,it will destroy you,however,if you can look past them,& see that there is hope,you will survive & prosper.
