If You Feed It, It Will Come Back

I wrote this poem years ago. It perfectly describes how I feel tonight.


Feed The Beast



This isn't how it works

I tell myself

Not the way it's gone before

What used to set me free

Does not release me

Instead beguiles me

Tell me, please, am I insane?

Einstein's quote does not apply

Same actions always yielded

Satiation, calm and rest

Expecting something different

Would be crazymaking stuff

Something here has gone awry

Same actions are resulting

In a hunger deep and wide

Demanding to be fed

To be acknowledged, satisfied

I'm puzzled and confounded

Yet without question I comply

To be finally consumed

By this desire bound inside
