I Am Hungry

I really am trying to be good

I'm digging and doing what I should

So what is this fire inside me?

Desire?

I feel an itching in my skull

I have an inclination

To climb the wall

I feel a twinkling in my spine

I feel a wrinkling

Inside of my mind

Am I alright?

I feel a bubbling in my blood

And if it boils will I

Drown in the flood?

I feel an overwhelming need

To put my own flesh

Between my teeth

I am hungry

On what can I feed?

I am hungry

I am hungry

I am hungry

I'm scared of what I feel

Maybe it isn't real, but

I'm scared of who I am

A monster masquerading as a lamb

Why am I so hateful?

I'm safe in here, my plate's full

Why am I ungrateful?

I feel an itching in my skull

I have an inclination

To climb the wall

I, I have a river in my mind

And if I follow it

What will I find?

I am hungry

I am hungry

I am-- (gasp)
