Starvation

Walking alone in a dark night
No one around except the stars and the moon
I come upon a skull
Reciting speeches as jokes
Hamlet like a comedian
Trying to find ways to amuse myself
I toss the skull behind me
After hearing it, I hit the ground
I hear a grown, It's my stomach
I'm searching for food but I find nothing
I grow fear of the dark
I start to hallucinate
The trees laugh at me
Watching me starve
I feel like I'm growing tall and anorexic
Until I slowly
Am nothing
