My actions don't speak for exactly who I' am
I was blessed with the gift of dedication
And cursed with the feeling and strain of hunger
Is a person a thief…if they have stolen to feed those who can't eat
Am I no longer human if I must kill a man to save another man's life
Is life that brutal that survival determines who we are
Because I to have a heart that beats irregular
A soul that fears it's date with death
For its unsure of where it may travel, and knows the end is near
My tears have grown dry and become sand beneath my eyes
A mere distraction of vision
So I pray
I kneel to my knees and beg for the Lord's mercy
That those I have turned away from, turn against me
That I be forgiven for my grief and this addiction to eat
To live
To breath
To taste
I pray….
That just this once, for these moments
God loves me enough to look the other way
….Forgive me Father, for I have sin.
