Hunger Consumes Our Fragile Soul Poem by M. Asim Nehal

Hunger consumes our fragile soul
a constant void we cannot control
It ignites a fire within our being
for food, for fame, for endless seeking
the hunger of the body, a primal need
to nourish and sustain, to thrive and feed
to fill our stomachs, to keep us alive
but sometimes it's more than what we can strive.

For there is another kind of hunger
the one that grips our minds, it's stronger
It yearns for knowledge, for understanding
for answers to the endless questioning
we chase after success, after fame
hoping it'll fill this hunger, tame
but it's a bottomless pit, always wanting more
never satisfied, always at our core

Our time is consumed by this hunger
our every move, every thought, it lingers
we strive, we struggle, we fight
to satisfy our cravings with all our might.
we hunger for love, for belonging
for acceptance, for someone caring
and sometimes it feels like a lost cause
for this hunger, it knows no pause.

Our lives are full of this constant hunger
a never-ending cycle, our minds encumber
we must learn to embrace it amicably
and find peace in this unquenchable chase
for it is the fuel that drives us forward
pushing us to reach new heights, soar
our hunger, our thirst, our endless desire
In the end, it's what sets our souls on fire.
