The Daily Special

By freudian-slip

Never really sure of his own personal preference

but never the less

left
completely famished

What kind
of state of mind
would put you in an endless hunger?

I'm thinking
it's ego based

relying consistently
on the reactions of others
and having little to do with what fills the space inside

besides


you can never feel satisfied
with a full belly


and an empty heart

    dunno if I like the sledgehammer that rides behind these words... so close to home, for many, I would assume. It takes a steady hand to challenge the reader, each reader, directly, but in this, you have done just that.
