Array ( [sid] => 170048 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => The Hunger [time] => 2012-01-08 09:12:15 [hometext] => [bodytext] => There's a hunger inside of me
A strange growth never foreseen
Each day I seem to grow colder
Every second it grows bolder

Unheeded it will consume my mind
Unsure even of its origin or kind
It fills me with unwanted feelings
Fear, dread, horrid little seedlings

Too much time spent in this fetal position
Don't want the name of this condition
All I feel is the pain, the squeezing
Of heart and soul, not very pleasing

Told I feel too much, can't let sadness go
To forget the despair, don't let hurt show
Darkness my badge, but wanting so much
Love, hope, family, happiness I can touch

Is there enough open space in my heart
Do I possess the strength from the start
Can I excise this nasty kernel of hate
Remove it in time to possibly create

The wondrous world seen in my daydreams
Where I'm alive, touchable, part of the scheme
Head held high, opening the door
Partaking of life, love, an island no more

There's a power we carry in our body and soul
Leading all if you believe life and love are a goal
It takes committment, faith in God's grand plan
We're all one, HIs vision for woman and man

Time to throw caution to the fate of all winds
Wanting to have a life fulfilled, worthwhile isn't a sin
Time to destroy this growth, plant a bright new seed
It'll bear beautiful flowers, forget wretched weeds

The Hunger

A strange growth never foreseen
Each day I seem to grow colder

Unheeded it will consume my mind
Unsure even of its origin or kind

hunger is itself a struggle. you have described the life of human beings in good descriptions. although some believe on fate it is what we make.
