I starve myself of sustenance, I work better hungry. I refuse any drink, Thirst is what drives me. Without my drive, I have no purpose. Without purpose, I am just as good as any stray stone. I stay hungry, I achieve, But if I stop to eat, I satisfy, Then my work halts, At a point of content. I'm no where near as good as I could be, So I'll keep pushing.

I Stay Hungry
I starve myself of sustenance, I work better hungry. I refuse any drink, Thirst is what drives me. Without my drive, I have no purpose. Without purpose, I am just as good as any stray stone. I stay hungry, I achieve, But if I stop to eat, I satisfy, Then my work halts, At a point of content. I'm no where near as good as I could be, So I'll keep pushing.
A hungry person works twice as hard for food.
