Hunger On the Inside

Is it possible

For Hunger to eat?

Because it seems to be feeding on me

From the inside out

Slowly

Painfully

Sounds around me become muted

Because I'm trying to focus on not feeling the Hunger

It's breaking through my stomach

Chewing it away

People stare at me

They hear the growling

Of the beast

Hunger

Hunger the beast

A great monster

I could just imagine it

Its gleaming and viciously sharp teeth

Ripping me apart

I want to turn away and empty myself

Rid myself of the beast

But I won't

I believe that will only make it stronger

 

This is all insignificant

Because tomorrow

I won't even have an appetite

I'll be in a good mood

Not hungry

Satisfied

Except maybe for

The Hunger for Love

And Knowledge

That Hunger is constant

Eating my brain

And my heart

 

Ok...

Deep Breath...

Interesting personification, turning hunger into a thing instead of a feeling. Great write!
