Consumption for me has never been tough. No matter how much I eat, nothing’s ever enough.
I’m the bottomless pit you should never feed. My heart forever bleeds from my appetite called forever greed.
I’m hurt a little bit and I’ll be mad more. No matter how much I get, I have to have more.
I have a soul of lust that may outlive me. I’ll never be grateful for everything you give me.
I’m always wanting more with a devilish grin. My ways are listed as one of the deadliest sins.
All I see is the future. A time when I have everything that won’t mean much to me in the future.
I have a million, but I want a million and one. I’m not happy with the world if you don’t give me the sun.
I want it all, not just a taste. No matter what I catch, there’s always something else to chase.
I’m always focused on what I think I don’t have, but there will always be something that I won’t have.
Maybe I need to repent. I’m struggling to look inside myself to learn how to be content.
I hope I don’t pass this curse on to my seed. I don’t wish for anyone to be consumed by greed.
