Hunger

Everyone thinks since i smile that everything is good no one knows its been a while since i last had good food. I live in a good neighborhood My neighbors, all quite wealthy just snacking when i could and trying to stay healthy everytime you go to school your stomach starts to rumble always looking like a fool when you trip and stumble. i know what its like to feel sick the fuzz that passes through your brain people acting like a prick not knowing your in pain. i go to school like normal i tell no one of my issues no need to make it formal i just grab a few more tissues. you may not even notice me im just your everyday dumb teen you cant see what i see or know where i have been. i go to school each day and go to work each night working for my pay so i can grab another bite. we go to homeless dinners and i feel my heart clench tight not feeling like the winner should i really have to fight? so now i lay my head and dream of a full tummy and as i lay in bed i dream of yummy yummies.
