Hollow Echoes

A cry of hunger and longing

By Emem IniPublished about a year ago 1 min read



Empty belly, hollow soul

Aches with each passing goal

Food, a distant memory stays

As hunger's pangs never fade away

In a world of plenty, I'm left bare

A gnawing feeling, hard to share

The pain of emptiness, a constant guest

A reminder of life's unmet quest

Tears fall like rain, as I lay at night

My stomach growls, a haunting light

A longing for nourishment, a plea unheard

A heart that's heavy, a spirit blurred

In this darkness, I search for a bite

A morsel of hope, a glimmer of light

But like a mirage, it vanishes fast

Leaving me with nothing, but this vast

Hollow feeling, that echoes my name

A reminder of hunger's endless claim.
