Some people these days think hunger is part of intermittent fasting. However, some people face hunger in daily basis because that's just part of their life. Hunger is part of my life and there's so much more than meets the eye. One time, I hadn't eaten for days and I wrote this short narration.  Photo by Thought Catalog on Unsplash I can't think while the hunger consumes me I don't know what makes me constantly being poor All I know is that being hungry sucks and I can't even think It only had a small portion of food this morning I wonder if there's a good analogy or stories about hunger and poverty It's strange, the way I look at hunger when I have abundance, I could go days without food and chase my ambition When the money is gone, I could not even go a day without food I crave it more than ever I wonder what hunger is trying to teach me I feel like I've never learned I feel like the hunger just weakens me My feet are colder than usual I feel spikes are growing inside my stomach I can't do anything than lay in bed I gather my energy to find ways to eat or to find money My brain stops working I hate it Just a week ago, I had a bit of abundance. I cherished it with all my life. I was happy, I didn't think about food. Is this all about scarcity? Is this all about security? Why haven't I learned to conserve my resource before the winter comes? Now I can see what it's like to lack of food to be malnourished, to not have security. To find that life is much more cruel and I haven't done my best to survive I am a bum, I admit it. I spent hours and hours reading and laying on my bed thinking something would magically save me or I would eat up my own pride The only thing I consume right now is my pride. I am too bothered to ask anyone thinking I could survive on my own. I live surrounded by fences I have fears of scratching the edges What is out there? I have always asked to myself What do I have to offer? Maybe this poverty and hunger try to teach me something To fight my fears, to recognize my ability and to work harder than I've ever been So I will never be lazy. Ever.

Oh, @Macchiata, what a poem!! I'm impressed because I understand what you are talking about, also living those moments of uncertainty and need. But you reflect in the other side too, because it's true that we can resist more if we know that is some kind of net in which we can safely fall. Someone would say, that's the complexity of the inner self. It's a good lesson what you share. I send you a lot of good vibes, @Macchiata, and best wishes for studies, projects and everything important in life!!

It's difficult to live in the moments of uncertainty and need. But it's life, we have a lot of it!

Isn't the life the same as food? We have a lot of it and we don't care until we see it fading away!
