Suffered Hunger

Suffered Hunger
  
twisting hunger pain 
hides food under the bed and
between the mattress
hoarding food afraid of not
getting enough food to eat

I think people who have gone through the Great Depression could especially relate to this piece. Good luck in the contest.

I met a little boy doing this when his mother got him back from the orphanage it was hard to see. Hugs Eve
