Free verse poem.

I never rest my tired eye

Because the hunger is still there

Therefore I must eat and feed

Awaiting a new day

With a fork and knife

This happiness breed from my need

To meet it, you have to forget all the virtues

But there must be some other way

Than consume all day long

Like a burning passion eating the house alive

Dive into the abyss, beyond the oily mist

Of regret, the prison from bones of my ancestors

The key in the belly of the hell whale

Standing steady I renounce you, needless need

For every golden lion steak on my path

For every cinnabar cola and jade milkshake

What I want is not what I am
