Parched

I'm so hungry
but all the food in the world cannot sate me.

I'm so thirsty
but all the water in the world cannot quench it.

My stomach is empty.
Like a bottomless pit.

I want to cry out
but my voice is silent.

I keep searching
for something that I cannot find.

I breath in and out
but my lunges scream for more.

More air.
More something.
This is not enough.

Not enough.

Lips cracked and dry.
I sigh.

I can't breath.
Can't seem to catch my breath.

And right now,
nothing the world
can satisfy
my hunger.
