Abstract Inspirational
Starvation is
when you suffer
due to lack of food,
your stomach starts
swallowing itself
and
the cells cry out the pain,
which you feel
and eventually
that hunger swallows
the whole of you.
One can notice
the physical degradation
of a starving body,
when the skin dissolves
in the acidic layer of bones,
leaving the bones bare open,
and then later
the same acid dissolves the bones.
Have you heard
about emotional starvation?
When you are afraid
to get attached,
you turn to a stone
from a magnet,
you lose your properties.
You need warmth of
someone’s arms
but you are too afraid
because it seems
claustrophobic to you.
You want to cry
and talk but you fail
to pour words in ears
because
you are too afraid
to portray yourself as weak.
You want to love
and get loved
but then those
words you read on heartbreaks
start ringing in your head,
those scenes of misery,
you saw in movies
shake your faith
and you suck in
the tiniest hope
that grew in
your heart’s chamber.
You want to hold hands,
being caressed
with warmth
but you feel
too fragile
that one touch might
scatter you in pieces.
If you think
you no longer can love,
or you can no longer
beloved
then come to me as a friend.
I will provide
food to your soul;
I will water your dead roots
and will provide humus too,
so that you can grow.
So that we can flower
and spread the love for those
emotionally starved souls.
Let's help each other,
let's grow together.
