Hunger


There has always been a hunger inside

I have filled it with - 

Music, toys, television 

Pain, blades, chemicals, pills 

All left inside and outside my body

Always deliberate - certain

Now I dine on syllables, words and stories -

The best diet I have ever chosen.

  1. I have tried the other diets as well, and I concur....writing poetry makes me a lot fuller. Loved the metaphors and autographical slant!
