Hunger Poem by Wendy Moravec

So Hungry to find a place to feel safe and welcome
Craving a connection of some manner, one that counts
Famished to feel another’s hand when I blindly reach out
Starving to be accepted for the mess that is me.

Ravenous for a friend who I can let go with
Wishing this great hunger could be met.

So Hungry to stop feeling so alone in a swarm
Craving the instinct to be what’s expected
Famished to feel the blessings of those I admire
Starving to be whoever I was meant to be.

Ravenous for the knowledge of where to go from here
Wishing the hunger wasn’t so great.
