I am not hungry.

Looking at the food in front of me, I know I must eat.

But without the urge of hunger to motivate me, 

I just stare a little longer.

I know that I should, but I do not want to.

Without the hunger to finish school, I don't.

I drop out of my classes impulsively & without a second thought.

I attend graduation parties, and wonder if I'll ever have one.

I watch my siblings graduate with multiple degrees, before I finish one.

I have decided that I have romanced the idea of college just enough to try again.

But the hunger is still missing.

I know that I need it in order to thrive.

I worry it will never come.

- Send out a search party,

I am too lost within myself.
