The Hunger


I feel it wanting out
Fighting as though so crazy
The fight of this is wild
It hates to be caged up inside
What is it it's after?
Something to heal the pain it holds
What can I do to help?
Is this up to only myself
The tension is building up
I hear the call so strong and valid
The return to this I know is wrong
Then the hunger has control
Going FAster. and still waiting
I know it is again
Because my mind is set
The hunger soon will be fed away
And I am filled with so much shame
So many people hurt
I've left ones behind that stood beside me
They hate to see that this is the truth
I know they hate it
Because I do hate it too
The power is clever and strong
Living Growing off your soul as you slowly die
It knows the tricks of thought as once you caged it
Then your choice is the key that gives it life
The echoing of surrender in your ears
Will simply drive you mad
Untill you let it out
But now don't dare pretend
As though there's not a problem
For you you do, my thoughtless child.
Then you surely are to lose
And the hunger is sure, by taking all, will win.
The cage door you open
With the drug unleashed
Controls the hunger
By a small tattered leash
You may think
You have control
Then comes the problem
You gave freedom to roam.
The drug now in you
Subsides the hunger
It fades a little....going under
Goes to sleep...held sweet and tight
Then again out of peace
There comes clawing of the beast
As you awake to screamings
Of the new feeding
Now....much stronger and louder within.
there is no denying
The ear peircing crying
You hear that tells you
And you think it is what you should do
It the cloud of confusion
you feel weak
And you are badly needing
you must stand knowing
You kill it by
By Withholding the feeding
Out think the thoughts
That tell you things
Impower yourself
Impower your brain
As the hunger
dies inside
Let it just lay there
Just let it die
