My teeth crunch the brittle bones of my arms as I bite through, drinking in my own blood. I am fervent and charged with electricity and an insatiable hunger to swallow myself whole. I continue to chomp through my bones, hoping that the self-consuming pain that sits so deeply inside is eaten away with the rest of me. I then hold my heart in my hands, turning it over and over, feeling how plump and ripe it is. Then, I bring it to my lips and sink my teeth into the flesh, feeling it break open and ooze deliciously down the back of my throat. I continue to consume myself until all my pain is gone.

My Insatiable Hunger
My teeth crunch the brittle bones of my arms as I bite through, drinking in my own blood. I am fervent and charged with electricity and an insatiable hunger to swallow myself whole. I continue to chomp through my bones, hoping that the self-consuming pain that sits so deeply inside is eaten away with the rest of me. I then hold my heart in my hands, turning it over and over, feeling how plump and ripe it is. Then, I bring it to my lips and sink my teeth into the flesh, feeling it break open and ooze deliciously down the back of my throat. I continue to consume myself until all my pain is gone.
