Hunger


A deep wretched rumbling from my pit within,
grabs a hold of my soul and refuses to let go.
It rumbles ferociously and completely unstable,
surely to cripple me from inside down to my ankles.
Gripping my head in sheer fear,
thoughts of hunger lingering near.
Inside my head thoughts continue to rage on,
trying to maintain control,
feeling myself going overboard,
reaching back pulling for cover,
with nothing left to discover.
A cold sweat ensues...legs shake and tremble,
off balance like a small winding thimble.
I set my face to the floor,
enduring this hunger even more.
I swear is it keeping score?
I know I am losing and taking more.
My eyes completely lose focus,
what is this damn this purpose?
I scream aloud but no words from lips,
and now I am severely getting pissed,
as this pain grips my hips.
My hands hit the floor in desperation,
wanting to get rid of this hunger exploitation.
It seeps through my pores,
like oil leaking thru cracked and desolate ores.
Nothing more to do but to allow this onslaught.
I freeze and tense as the hunger racks my thick frame,
not sure of its ultimate aim.
I lose myself more and more,
becoming an empty vessel,
spinning on the ground like a broken trestle.
Hollow like a crunched can,
is this really its diabolical plan?
I no longer understand it,
robbing me like broke bandit.
I feel the hunger leaving me,
a sweet smile spreads across my face,
as I watch it spread all over the place.
Numb and cold to any feeling,
searching for a certain healing,
the last bit of this incredible hunger is slowly peeling.
My body contracts, contorts as the pain subsides,
it no longer resides inside.
So undone and dirty to the core,
What was it all truly for?
I pound my fist on the ground again,
until its battered and bruised,
why do I feel so f****** used?
A slight sigh of disbelief,
the hunger smoked me like an Apache chief.
