what is this hunger that lies within
what can I take to satisfy this desire
would food or drink fill this void or
only mask shadows that lurk in corners
if I whisper my fears, will the emptiness
cease, freeing me from these chains

Good questions regarding hungers, for true, hungers may be about "shadows that lurk in corners".
