The One I Once Loved Left Me For Dead

Hunger is when your body is starving for nutrients.

It is when you realize that your tummy is empty and

it feels empty. There was a time when I was once hungry,

it was the most uneasy feeling and you walk by someone taking

a bite into their Big Mac wishing it was you taking that bite. He

left me, left me for dead, left me to fend for myself and this person use

to be the love of my life. He was the most selfish person I knew. But I

fought for myself, I found a job, It was then I ate anything I wanted. Then

I found a place to call my own. It was then I found myself and was happy

for the first time in my life. I depended on myself and realized I loved

myself. Every time I see someone in need I stop and ask them if they need

help. I believe in karma and she works both ways. For now, the person I

once loved, who left me for dead is now where I was 7 years ago, He has

nothing and thinks life is a game and he only has himself to blame.
