Hurting
It's hard
to explain
how much pain I feel
on any given day
to put a number to it
I could say a million
it would be wrong
I could say a billion
it would be wrong
I could say infinity
it would be wrong
the point is
I'm in a lot of pain
I'm always
hungry
because I can't
eat
I'm always full
because I can't
stop eating
and somewhere in the middle
I get
lost
because I can't decide to
eat
or not to
eat
because it's so hard
and it hurts
my wispy frame
gets fuller
and I want to
die
my stretched figure
becomes small and frail
as I waste away
going back and forth
from hatred
to loathing
and back again.
The light rises
in the east
and sets before it reaches
my face
I want to see
the entire world
beneath my feet
but before I can do that
I have to quell the pain
and stop hurting
but I can't
I don't know how
to stop
hurting.
