Hunger

Swirling visions of fine cuisine…

Akin to an oasis in a dessert,

Mixed with decadent sights of deserts,

Flood my mind…

Overpowering imagery of debauched feeding,

Of what I cannot have,

Drive me to lustful insanity!

My mouth driven to salivate,

Over nothing…absolutely nothing!

Rumbling, grumbling, aching noises,

Joined by spikes of irritating pain,

Rip through my entire body.

All I feel is the want…

The need…

The desire!

Food!

I want…

No more do I need…

I just want!

Give it to me!

My impeaching pleas find no sympathy.

In bed I lay stretched out,

Like a beached whale,

Unable to move,

Trapped!

I hate what I have become,

But I need my release!

My hideous appearance…

Daunts me not…

All I feel is…

The need…

The need to feast,

On corpulent meats,

Profligate sweet delicacies of sugary bliss,

To gorge myself till gluttonous relief!

Though you might judge me callous,

I now feel the pain of starving people,

I suffer now their pain…

Oh!

How I am wasting away!

Curse my tormentors,

For this suffering they impose!

Who cares what the doctors say,

So what if I am morbidly obese!

I am desirous for victuals…

I must eat!

Save me!
