Spoken Word Poems and Short Stories

I'm Starving (spoken word poem)

I'm starving

I skipped lunch today

nothing looked good

there was nothing I wanted in the fridge

I'm starving

I want to lose weight

I think I eat too much

so i'll eat less

I'm starving

I woke up late this morning

I skipped breakfast to make the bus

lunch isn't until 11

I'm Starving

she's starving

her mom can't afford food

they only have half a sack of grain left

her baby brother is hungrier

so she'll give him her share

he's starving

he walks 2 miles each day to the river

The water is dirty

he falls down a lot and feels dizzy

he's only had a fistfull of the grains today

they're starving

they ran away from home

they had to dig in the trash for their food

people rush past them

treating them like their pests

Am I starving

When i'm hungry I go to the fridge

I look inside to a variety of different foods

I dont feel like eating that

I had that last night

Am I starving

when he goes to the barrel

dreams that it will be full

sees that its still empty

then walks off, stomach still rumbling

Am I starving

am I
