My Hungry Disposition CHLOE CAMPBELL • 8 TH GRADE WRIT TEN DURING A YOUNG WRITERS PUBLISH PROJECT AT ACADEMY FOR YOUNG WRITERS
I am smart and quiet I am forever hungry and smart I wonder what I should eat when I get home I hear some music and it's so-so I see school girls hitting the woah I want Popeye’s but they're too slow I am forever hungry and smart I pretend I'm full when I could go for another bite I feel so warm like I have touched the light I touch my stomach and had a small fright I worry there is no more food I cry because my worry came true I am forever hungry and smart I understand that I exaggerate I say, "Give me my meal, with no malice or hate" I dream about my love of food I try to share that dream, but with whom? I hope to diet but that's a stretch I try to eat salads but I can only wretch I am forever hungry and smart
