Skipping Meals

entry picture

Sometimes I skip my meals

To weigh less than my heavy mind

Sometimes I skip my meals

Because sleep is more delicious

Sometimes I skip my meals

To sink into my bed

Sometimes I skip my meals

Because I want to drift away

Sometimes I skip my meals

To forget every hour

Sometimes I skip my meals

Because I yearn to skip all my days
