OH GOD, PLEASE LET ME EAT.

Throat can not you hear my cries of hunger
My passionate pleas for satisfaction
My longings for fulfillment
My painful moans of starvation
Oh GOD, please let me eat.

My throat can no longer swallow
But my stomach does not seem to understand
He yearns for solid food
Not this liquid diet
Oh GOD, please let me eat.

My life is over I am a waste
No longer able to swallow
I just want to leave this place
Oh body grant me sweet surrender
Oh GOD, please let me eat.

Gone are the days of dining out
Forget family outings
Who cares about holidays
They only depress me now
Oh GOD, please let me eat.

When I look into the mirror
I no longer like what I see
Or who I have become
Life is empty it holds no promise
Oh GOD, please let me eat.

My stomach churns and yearns
Give me solid food
My body's in constant turmoil
racked by pains of hunger
Oh GOD, please let me eat.

Grief has taken over my being
My life is worthless, meaningless to me
Oh death embrace me, give thy comfort
Oh GOD, please let me eat.

I wallow in my anguish
My grief is more than I can bear
What good am I
I bemoan my woes for all to hear
Bestow upon me life's sweetest pleasure
Oh GOD, please let me eat.
