The Hunger

The one and only poem I've ever written.

The Hunger
By "Gardak"

Im not afraid to die
But to die to this unjust cause
That is what I am truely fearful of

I do not know what to do with my life
All this hatred and stress...
Its a wonder I still survive

I do not know how to comprehend
The other people living like I should
I want that life, I want it so bad

I listen to this somber tunes
I listen to the tunes of war
The tunes of peace
We as a human race live our lives by song

One person cannot truely say that music doesnt
In some way
Effect their life

I see the sadness in the artists eyes
The small band trying to make it big
I can see their hunger for fame

What do I hunger for?
Why I hunger for many things
I hunger for more things then any other soul

I hunger for peace
Yet I inspire war

I hunger for strength
Yet I am weak

I hunger for a place to belong
Yet I belong nowhere

I hunger for understanding
Yet I am always misunderstood

I hunger for bliss
Yet all I receive is pain

I hunger for love
Yet I will never find it

I hunger for money
Yet I will remain poor

I hunger for many things
Things I will soon not have
Things that other people have

I envy those people
But I envy no one more then myself
For the hunger keeps me alive
The hunger keeps me alive
