Mia


Eat and eat I must To feed the demon within Once it has been fed The disgusting feelings begin My entire body begins to fill with poison My skin begins to crawl The only freedom from this will come from the straw As I shove it farther down my throat I begin to choke on the impurities They are now on display awaiting me to flush them away The viscous cycle is complete Empty I once more feel To remain forever alone Until the demon's hunger once more returns
