starvationA Poem by Troy Allan Poefood for thoughtconsidered myself running & playing by the side of the beach, with sand between my feet, but instead im outside in the dusty cold street, asking for something to eat. The bittersweet memories i see in front of me, a treacherous treat that is left inside of me. as i dive into the midst of reality, i drown in its toxic, viral sea. There's no sight of life, only a vision of the sea, but further more a sight of filth, dirt, ugly, maybe that's just the sight of me. A struggle for just one shot at being at peace, whether if its a shot to the head, or being shot down for the living to feast. Im dead inside, i say to myself that this cannot be, but why when i love, my heart can no longer agree? The past i lived led me to being this man, left in the cold with nothing to eat, now i consider being left alone, with the past between my feet, but instead im outside in the dusty cold street, asking for something to eat. © 2016 Troy Allan Poe |
