Are You Hungry? (Poem)

How easy it would be to just eat, drink and be merry.

If only it were that simple.

The act of eating is a tightrope.
How much?
How often?
Alone or with others?

Eyes always watching leads to hiding to indulge
                                                                          punishment for an unspoken crime unknown to all.

Never having enough growing up mean there's never enough as an adult.

The minds says "no" but the mouth always say "YES!"

Food is love
Food never betrays
Food never lies
Food never leaves
Food never hurts

Always having to fight for a seat at the table, quickly grabbing food before it disappears

It's never enough but always too much

No one knows you're an addict if you hide it well enough.

Putting pen to page helps to slowly liberate the prisoner within.
