Hunger

It always wants more

The hunger eats away everything left

Our bodies cling to our old habits

After the maggots feast our dead soul

Nothing but the hopeless dark

That engulfs us hungry ever more

Devours our dead dreams

And our big brains explode

As others will only see smoke

It eats till it's full

But it's never satisfied

Fighting is pointless because itโ€™s venomous

Like the broken path

Full of our anxieties

As it eats you whole

And you feel no more

But you know the hunger always wants more
