Deciphering

It felt like Christmas 

Waiting for my food

At an evening diner

Looking out the window

Street lights gleaming

Homeless pretending

To be eating. 

For the water

From somewhere not here

To being alive 

Something the rich

Are always searching for 

I'll eat anything

And I felt a certain way

Keeping myself from

Doing things made me

Feel bad

It's Christmas 

And I got nothing 

So I decided to

Do everything 

Until there is nothing

Left to feel

Unlike life

Open your mouth

But don't tell them 

Your goals

If you want to eat.
