The Hungry One
A child cries loud hunger pains
A mothers in childs pose baring the shame
My body is full of emptiness and mommy doesn't care
She knows that prostituting won't get her anywhwere
The refrigerator is filled with scraps we found on the ground
But everytime I eat them, my tummy makes a sound
Early in the morning is when it hurts the most
Shaking and sqealing I want out of life
No food at all is a struggle, a strife!
A knife piercing through every inch of my body is how this hunger feels
I cannot deal!
While mommy is doing her adult things I cry
and think of any way to die
I look for pills, silverware, I even consider electrocution
But then I thnk aagain I want a peaceful, nothing gruesome
SoI lay my wimp body in the dirty tub facedown hoping I dont see tomnorrow
Unfortunely as an angel I'll have to deal with mothers sorrow
I just close my eyes and think God take the will
Because I rather be in heaven with the best foods of the world
than starving another day as an 8 year old girl
