Gluttony

I wasn’t ready

to take those bites

But I did and the animal inside cried out for more.

I really didn’t need 

That extra slice

But I put it on my plate; much more than I could afford

I couldn’t finish it all. So I threw the rest out.

While many are on death's door it's nothing I think about

I call myself a foodie

But is it food that I adore?

Is it the food that I love 

Or am I just a food w***e?
