Climb the highest mountain, punch the face of god
A Deep Hungering
There is deep hunger in me,
In my eyes,
I take it and lock it away
In a child's music box.
Because I was afraid of the fortune
It would someday tell.
I've had the look in my eyes,
Of someone yearning for something,
Hungering for something
That cannot be eaten.
Something not edible like food,
But desires and hopes and wishes and wants.
I'm everything and nothing all at once,
But I'm a bit of everything in the universe,
With exception to many.
Sometimes the hungering is not from my eyes,
It is within the coronary walls of my heart,
In the ectoplasmic surface of my soul.
There is not enough sleep in the world
To help me through it.
There is not enough sleep in THIS world
To help me see it.
And lonely as I am,
I was never really alone.
I was always only me.
I was always only scared.
We fear what we don't understand and
I don't understand anything.
