The Hunger Inside of Me
What must I do to keep this hunger inside of me?
It’s like a black hole, dark, dense, spinning, sucking, pulling,
A Never escaping nightmare.
I grab my stomach and it growls at my hand.
I look around to see if anybody noticed or heard the hunger inside of me,
But no it’s only for my ears.
Silent like a Predator stalking its prey...
Me.
I am my own predator and prey.
Call me two- face or Mr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
I want my cake and yes I want to eat it too.
Anything to keep this hunger inside of me
I'm too proud to beg and I'm ashamed to admit my need.
They say your eyes are a window to your soul but mine is empty.
It was attacked, chewed, and swallowed by my Predator.
The Hunger inside of me.
