devour

savagely i search
for anything to consume
take it in, all of it
more, more, more
there isn't enough
i need to devour
all that there is

everything i see
i want to destroy
in my ravenous consumption
there can be nothing but me

fulfill my needs
screw the world
i don't care the cost
any goddamn thing
to satisfy this
gaping whole
that consumes me

everything i see
i want to destroy
in my ravenous consumption
there can be nothing, especially me

i like this piece because it reveals my own wishes to hide behind/beneath consumption. the last line teases me and sends me tailspinning into confusion about how and why I choose consumption. thanks for your words, bro.

...and thanks for your response. I wrote this at a point where I was desperately desiring to consume while fighting with all my power to not give in.
