Hunger


I can haer my stomach, and feel the pain of hunger,

Yet I don't eat.

I remember your words,

Fat,

Huge,

Lardo,

Pig.

I don't eat.

My mother begs me, 

Father carries my lifless body to the car,

My sister is calling my name,

I don't answer,

I can't.

Brother tries hitting me,

It hurts but my eyes just wont open.

My stomach hurts,

Im hungry.

Why am I?

Why am I not used to it?

Everyday for a month,

I skipped every meal,

Every snack.

So why am I still hungry?
