Hunger is only weakness
Strength is only pain
It is those who are strong who must keep going
And walk out through the rain.

Comfort is only fictitious
Utopia is vain
To be happy is to submit to craziness
And see nothing but the gain.

Nirvana is pretentious
Enlightenment's been slain
The enigma of happy life
Was lost by the comfort strain.

The comfort strain is only those
Who'll see nothing for themselves
Trusting only in the views of others
Rather than trusting themselves.


Here I lay so hungry
To see life exit from this bane
But hunger is only weakness,
And strength is just the same.


The author's comments:
i seem to write all my best poems when i'm depressed and upset...

in the past, i've tended to worry numerous loved ones when i tend to not eat. it's not at all because i think i'm fat; in fact, i KNOW that i'm not. it's just due to a loss of appetite caused by being depressed...

furthermore, i also noticed that eating gave me more fuel (obviously), but it fuels more than my body. it fuels my sentiments, as well, and i would choose not to eat because the sentiments were much too overwhelming.

i recommend the diet for NOBODY!!!...
ftr, i did eat, just not a lot...

i wrote this because suddenly i was feeling hungry, and i recited that first stanza to myself.

finally, even though i wrote this from a depressed time, i still agree with the things that i wrote. such as lines 7-8.

please... enjoy :)

now, i think that weak people are, in fact, still expected to keep moving on. rest is true, especially that last stanza.

especially that last stanza...
