Hunger
for food
for justice
Mother- hunger
hunger to be a wife
a daughter
a friend
hunger for release
hunger for God
or for there not to be one
hunger for power
money
discovery
the hunger to explore
hunger to impress a father
for a gooey chocolate chip
hunger for revenge
or at least for things to be the way they were
to be noticed
to disappear
for a strike
from fasting
for a re-do
the hunger of a baby needing to be held
hunger to get the hell out of here
to be remembered fondly
hunger for a title
hunger for a field of tall grass to run through barefoot
for Chinese- Now!
for reciprocated love
hunger for a friend's pain to be gone
the hunger of a girl on a date who doesn't like people to watch her eat
new vegetarian hunger
for someone to tell you what you want to hear
for a meaning to life
for wisdom
to be a virgin, again
for our parents to understand
and for them to get back together
post-race hunger
hunger
to be heard
taken seriously
taken care of
to be a better person
for something dead to be reborn
for attention from the ones who should care
hunger for peace
