the girl with the most cake I feel like I'm in an endless hospital. Emergency room. People rushing around Trying to finish what's on their plate. Trying to play their cards just right. They're all dying, Bleeding, Gasping for life Like a fish, Wiggling in my palm. No hope. Hungry animals For their whole lives. They're hungry. We never stop! We all want love, money, fufillment. They'll never stop being hungry. From the moment we're born in that hospital To the moment we die in it, We're starving. I watch, I see the people I watch as they nibble on each other, Trying to get full. Your mom not feed you enough? Everyone is skinny these days. We're all a fire, Burning. As time goes on you have to feed the fire. If not, it dies. Withering flowers Fading light Invisible life.
Reason for writing:
I felt like I was in a hospital, because my school is so white and dead, that's where the first line came from. Afterwards it just kind of all flowed out.
