I Sit Alone

I sit alone.

Headphones plugged into my phone.

Ain’t got no plate.

I ain’t even got no music on.

-

I’m out of time.

All these thoughts inside my mind.

wish I could eat,

but I got no money.

Blurry lines.

-

Is all I see.

‘Cause that’s the deal

when you don’t eat.

I take a seat.

Shiver.

Nervous.

My lungs recede.

-

I sit alone.

Headphones plugged into my phone.

Pretends to eat

so that no one

comes into my zone.

I sit alone,

so that no one hears

my stomach groans.

I sit alone,

as I watch those who eat

precious stones.

-

Wish I could eat,

but I traded rocks for

a solid home.

Wish I could eat,

but I’m locked up by these

student loans.

Wish I could eat.

Have the energy

to do so much more.

-

I sit alone.

Headphones plugged into my phone.

One day I’ll eat,

and I’ll get to

fuel these

hollow bones.

One day I’ll eat,

and I’ll get to fuel this

sour full soul.

-

One day I’ll eat,

and it’ll be inside a

solid zone.

One day I’ll eat,

and I’ll never have to

eat

alone.
