Starving

Why in the hell can't we just get along?

And tell me;

Why must we treat 'the other' wrong?

We could break through the mysteries;

Subside the miseries;

Rewrite a history of hurt and pain;

But love's forsaken me;

I would give anything;

Not to feel this way, every single day;

Every time we hate;

It just eats us away;

//Love, hope, faith, comfort, silence;

//Inspiration and a common kindness;

//Accomplishment;

//Identity;

//Attention that is paid to me;

//Can't you see I'm starving?

//Wisdom, understanding, conversation;

//Patience, strength, freedom and validation;

//A friendly place to be;

//Divinity;

//Some private time for me;

//Can't you see I'm starving?

You. You were once so hopeful;

Faithful;

Wait we'll be so grateful;

Listen, I know that life is painful;

But it brings me to tears to watch you grow so hateful;

And if you were some anonymous other;

I'd still love you as my brother;

I hope you do so soon discover;

Unnecessary so much to suffer;

So why is it that nothing changes?

Is this it?

All that remains is;

Little shattered pieces of my life, and;

This little tattered peace that still reminds me;

Confines and slowly binds me;

//Love, hope, faith, comfort, silence;

//Inspiration and a common kindness;

//Accomplishment;

//Identity;

//Attention that is paid to me;

//Can't you see I'm starving?

//Wisdom, understanding, conversation;

//Patience, strength, freedom and validation;

//A friendly place to be;

//Divinity;

//Some private time for me;

//Can't you see I'm starving?

My lonely heart, tortured mind; empty eyes;

Splintered vision, hungry soul;

This is the image of a broken man;

Did you really that love was a battle that must be won?

How do you think life's caused?

Thoughts in a rhythm, in a mirror of a man caged by all the little things he saw;

I walk no more into the shadows;

To be food for the negativity that looms all about;

By name I call you out;

Fear, hate and doubt;

These brothers three with close cousin greed;

I will overcome you by my own God-seed;

I'm starving;

But my hunger sets me free;

Sweet release set me free;

It's numbed my mind and it feels like peace;

It's always seemed way to easy;

I dream I achieve all these things;

//Love, hope, faith, comfort, silence;

//Inspiration and a common kindness;

//Accomplishment;

//Identity;

//Attention that is paid to me;

//Can't you see I'm starving?

//Wisdom, understanding, conversation;

//Patience, strength, freedom and validation;

//A friendly place to be;

//Divinity;

//Some private time for me;

//Can't you see I'm starving?
