Hungry

just eat and take thing slowly going with the flow

Feeling hungry 

That's a familiar feeling that comes a goes

Feeling like shoving food in my mouth

People ask me if i'm ok

But

I lie

I lie and say i'm fine

When inside i'm hungry

How can i tell the truth?

All i need is some comfort and some food

I put on a smile and pretend i'm ok

To hide what's really wrong

How much longer till this mask wear's out

How much longer can i keep up this act?

one day my ability to hide will disappear

and when it does

will anyone care to help?

Will anyone be willing to listen?

I need some food

maybe that'll make me feel better

maybe i'll stop hiding

coming out of my shell

stop hiding and dealing with my problems

and making friends who i feel comfortable around

knowing they won't judge 

Author's Note

my friend wrote a VERY sad poem call Hiding but i did a little magic work and turned it into Hungry haha

This is a deeply understanding look at why some people overeat. You pegged this feeling better than I've ever seen it done. Most dwell too much on horrible feelings of shame, but in your poem, you make it sound more matter-of-fact. Lots of times, as we destroy ourselves with bad habits, it's not a big depression scene. It can be everyday okay, the way you put it here. We all have our moments of escaping thru unnecessary stuff or stuffing ourselves. You show it as the real raw deal that it is, but you don't over-dramatize. That's why this is striking to me (((HUGS)))
