The Parasite

It chips away at me Makes me hungry Hungry to be successful Hungry to be the best I can be Hungry to be the center of attention A hunger I can never satisfy A hunger that eats away everything It starves me when I'm content It has burrowed deep inside me I can't rid this being that consumes me I can't drown it I can't feed it I can't see it Because it's taken over every part that makes me me There's no lonelier feeling
