Circles

Is it hunger or emptiness

that keeps you longing,

searching to find yourself

in the skin of someone else.

We all have an appetite

to know and be known,

but with a full stomach,

still yearning for more,

it’s only disillusionment

scraped across your chest.

All you wish to have

lines this worn-out path,

but you search in circles

when you find the end

is just another beginning

in the search of yourself

or anything steady enough

to rest your hurried heart.
