Cravings and hunger differ,
but who would have thought it?
Always, it was food I turned to
to placate my turmoil, to comfort,
to fix all the ails everywhere.
But that hunger was false,
a cruel bait and switch.
Only when I grasped the truth —
when I found the answer
merely rebuked the question —
only when I looked first
to a power greater than I…
Only then was the hunger finally sated.
