HUNGRY DOG IS VICIOUS; IT'S ONLY TRYING TO SURVIVE

I stay hungryΒ 

Like a wolf abandoned by it's pack

Searching across the country

Needing something, someone to bring me back


Missing the feeling if how it was

Hold on to the last reminder

Too young to know what it'd cause

Never being blinderΒ 


I stay hungry

Avoid the full feeling at all costs

Never will I run free

Eaten away by the frost


Captured by it

Unable to move

Wanting to quit

But something needs to be proved


I stay hungry

For the guilt that consumes me

Every small problem, I am jumpy

Unable to foresee


If I can't eat

Why can the regret?

It's something that isn't beat

It turns people into a silhouette


I stay hungry

Let others go first

Nothing left for me

I can just deal with my thirst


Working like a dog

I live to survive

All there is to do is camouflage

Not living somewhere anyone can thrive


A hungry dog is not vicious to be vicious; it is merely wanting to survive

Damn, this is heavy! I love how the repetition of 'I stay hungry' really drives home the feeling of never being truly satisfied and always striving for something more. That metaphor about the wolf abandoned by its pack is deep, it really speaks to the loneliness and longing for something that's missing. Just wawww

Thank you so much !! Repetition is genuinely one of my favourite things to use as it helps to add emphasis , and also allows the phrase to be explored more πŸ™πŸ™πŸ’
