Primal Urges

To sleep
To eat
To live
is to feed

To feed on those around me
To feed on the world that hosts me
To feed on my own identity
To feed
To feed
To feed

I am so hungry
and yet I’d rather starve
than eat you.

I feed on myself
and turn inside-out
in a spray of my own blood and guts.

I am so hungry
and yet I'd rather starve
than live.
