The Hungry One

A child cries loud hunger pains

A mothers in childs pose baring the shame

My body is full of emptiness and mommy doesn't care

She knows that prostituting won't get her anywhwere

The refrigerator is filled with scraps we found on the ground

But everytime I eat them, my tummy makes a sound

Early in the morning is when it hurts the most

Shaking and sqealing I want out of life

No food at all is a struggle, a strife!

A knife piercing through every inch of my body is how this hunger feels

I cannot deal!

While mommy is doing her adult things I cry

and think of any way to die

I look for pills, silverware, I even consider electrocution

But then I thnk aagain I want a peaceful, nothing gruesome

SoI lay my wimp body in the dirty tub facedown hoping I dont see tomnorrow

Unfortunely as an angel I'll have to deal with  mothers sorrow

I just close my eyes and think God take the will

Because I rather be in heaven with the best foods of the world

than starving another day as an 8 year old girl
