How long have you been starving,
For something you cannot name?
How long have you been wishing
That someone would notice your pain?
PAUSE…
We need to eat; it’s a fact of life.
We need to nourish ourselves.
But nourishment comes in many forms,
What you need may not come from the shelves.
PAUSE…
What exactly do you hunger for?
What would fill you up?
What have you been missing out on?
And how long have you gone without?
PAUSE…
The first step toward satisfaction
Is to name the thing you seek.
To see it and feel it and call it out,
The Universe will see your technique.
PAUSE…
Think about why you’re in the back,
About why you don’t speak up.
What makes you feel less important,
Than those you take care of?
PAUSE…
They need you to be healthy.
They need you to be strong.
They want to know that you’re okay,
That you’re not just playing along.
PAUSE…
So what will you tell them when they ask,
When they see that your shine has faded?
How will you tell them to care for you?
What yearning begs for urgent attention?
PAUSE…
How will it feel to get what you need?
What will it change deep within?
Will guilt rise up to steal your joy,
And will you send it packing?
LONG PAUSE…
Inhale and fortify yourself with thoughts of your power and value.
Exhale and liberate yourself from the thoughts that undermine you.
PAUSE…
Where does this hunger come from?
What can it tell you if you listen?
Is there something helpful and positive
Hiding in its shadows?
PAUSE…
What’s the secret message,
The thread that runs throughout?
What can this empty space tell you,
About the cost of going without?
PAUSE…
We all know your heart’s in the right place,
That you want what’s best for all.
But deprivation just can’t get you there.
It just doesn’t have the power.
PAUSE…
Instead you need indulgence,
At least every now and then.
You need to see yourself as worth the effort,
And make time to see it through.
PAUSE…
Feel the new energy in your body,
The burst that happens when you feed your soul.
Sink into the safety of fullness,
And let yourself rest there.
PAUSE…
Imagine how beautiful you look now,
Shining with the glow of abundance.
Enjoy the warmth coursing through you,
Flavored with love and gratitude.
PAUSE…
So many things feel possible now,
So many ideas come forth.
It’s hard to know how stunted we are,
When we’re just holding on for dear life.
PAUSE…
But that isn’t you anymore.
You’ve asked for what you need.
And because those you love truly love you back,
What you asked for came to be.
LONG PAUSE…
Inhale and know you’re part of something bigger than yourself.
Exhale with thanks for those who care, those who catch you when you can’t.
PAUSE…
Think of this as a wakeup call,
A reason to make a change.
Feeding ourselves is a necessity,
Whether food or love or peace.
PAUSE…
Though change can’t happen overnight,
You can do it need by need.
Check in with yourself regularly,
And pay attention to what you crave.
PAUSE…
You’re not taking anything from others,
When you choose to feed yourself.
Instead you’re multiplying what you give,
By starting from a place of health.
PAUSE…
If anyone in your life disputes this,
Give that bond some thought.
Love is not meant to starve our hearts,
But instead to make them swell.
LONG PAUSE…
