Starvation

I'm waiting for that moment,
that feeling to take over me.
I'm dying for the day
when I can no longer speak.

 I know it's gonna come,
when I'm on my knees,
screaming for a chance of death.
My heart beating wildly in my chest.

 It's ravenous, crying.
telling me to give in.
Why am I trying to fight it?
Why can't I leave it alone?

 Break me, hurt me.
I'm done with the pain.
Struggling through this,
bought nothing but shame.
