The need continues to call out to me,

Like a rooster when dawn hits.

But yet and still escapes me, 

Like a forgotten thought.

The need continues to call out to me,

Like my order’s up.

But in this restaurant, my order goes unfulfilled.

Left starving for a meal I will never obtain.

The need continues to call out to me,

Like a new fighter has arrived.

But there is no cheat code to this game.

There’s no secret stage.

There’s no shortcut.

The need to feel wanted, calls out to me.

But the inability to connect, 

Is attached to me.

A repellent to those who cross paths with me.
