Eat The World

I was the

type of girl

to swallow

the world

whole ingest

it all

i felt too

much needed

too much

there

would never

be enough

love

insatiable

endless

black hole

of

everythingness

starving

for

everything

i didn't need

malnourished

by placebos

of love

vitamins

called

successattentionmoneyfame

pissed out

unaware

into luxurious

japanese

toilet bowls

nothing

could touch

the sides of

my crippling

black star

void jet black

hole of noise

no

dollar contract could

satiate

my stomach

achе for love

i thought if

i ate the world

i would finally

be full

i would never

be hungry again

i was wrong

of course i was

this isnt a movie

this is real

life a ragged

jagged pill of

a life

a whirl of

clothescars

photoshootsplanes

tearstraumasstudiostrains

approve approve approve

try try try

grind grind grind

to be

heard, seen

valued, understood

by men

with no knowledge

of real womanhood

who held

my power in

their purses

owned

my choruses

and my verses

but now

i am free

of what i had

to sever

i am free

of the hunger

lighter than feather

I AM free

of those men

and prolific like heather

i ate the

whole world

and i'll eat it

FOREVER
