The Hunger

I'm so hungry all the time. It doesn't matter what time of day it is. I wake up hungry and I fall asleep hungry. I think of food all day. Selecting the meal, toying with the food, the anticipation of the first bite. And then the next. And then the next. Until my food is all gone.

But I'm not full. I'm insatiable. I find myself in a frenzy. Bite after bite after bite and I find myself just as hungry as when I first started. I have to keep this hunger at bay. But it keeps growing stronger and stronger. I can't ignore it anymore. I can't hide myself anymore.

I eat four times a night. But, I don't feel relief. Finally, I fall asleep from sheer exhaustion.

Only to wake up hungry, again.
