““Hunger is a blade that carves me I open my arms and pull the air in -big hug!- then poof, right through me, nobody there. It's only me holding myself. My arms wrap two times around my own ribs, meet behind my back for a secret handshake. I am not what was expected. I'm so sharp- it's cut me now I'll cut you. Come closer closer No, come closer I'm gonna make you see what I see.””
