RAVENOUS

To eat or not to eat

that is the question.

To fill my stomach

and ruin my life

or begin a real one.

It’s never too late

to fall in love with myself

There’s something

less crazed inside of me,

that I’m dying to get out.

I am a human, and I think

nothing human is alien to me.

Every addict is a liar

who lies to himself,

and lies himself to sleep

each and every night.

I lope around the kitchen

like a lion in a cage.

Cupboards are bare,

ice-box is empty,

no one is home.

I hug my hot ice-box and cry.
