inspired by T_____. trying to get him out of the state he's been in for years, and see past the end of his nose.

Everything you try to do
collapses in on you,
but every time you try to cry
your anger sees you through.

If you give up, quit,
will you make a difference?
Let fate worry about what tomorrow brings.
All these stupid things.

The time has come to channel the anger,
take it,
form it
in to something beautiful, powerful,
life-changing extract of you.

What will you use it for?
Feed the hungry, help the poor.
If you use it on yourself,
will you find what you're looking for,

searching for?

Everyone is looking for something,
waiting, hoping for the moment
when life will strike, and
you will find your reason.

We've all got a purpose,
a reason to be
find yours, then help me?

There are some really powerful emotions in this. At times it resonates of desperation. Good tension as well.

I liked it. 
 
Especially the last stanza 
 
We've all got a purpose,

The first part mostly delt with anger, but this really gives us an image of your desperation. Sometimes we want someone to help us so much, but we realize no one else has it figured out either.
