Hunger

Hunger is a longing, a need to be held, a desire to be loved. It burns like a flame, never satisfied, never quenched. Hunger is the twisting, crippling pain of starvation, the plea for a crumb of bread or a morsel of meat. Left unsatisfied, it consumes, eating away at strength until finally it has its way. Hunger is the motivator; the strength behind determination. It goes by many names: desire, need, want, pain, love, hate. Fire, however, is my name for it; it cleanses, strengthens, purifies, consumes, and destroys. Hunger is fire.
