Bargaining

Hunger grips me

From my sleep

And I cannot keep

My eyes closed

My mind off

Food as a filler

To fill that void

The empty void

Of my soul

Soul food

I feel chewed

Miscontrued

After this patience

Has worn me thin

Waiting

Hidden within

Replacing

Necessities

With sin

I don't know why

I do this

To myself

Each day

It's just my way

Of bargaining
