What Am I Hungry For?

What am I hungry for? I've made a list of why I'm angry. Or what I'm angry about. If I keep eating my emotions, what is it that I'm not getting? What is it that I'm searching for? What am I hungry for?

I'm hungry for my books to be published
I'm hungry to be thinner
I'm hungry to be loved for who I am by my parents
I'm hungry for justice in my life
I'm hungry for happiness and peace in my soul
I'm hungry for a fatter checkbook

I was happier in the last two weeks, working, writing, editing, re-writing, than I've been in quite a while. Since last spring, when I wrote out the first draft. I just wish we had more money. I wish we weren't still living hand-to-mouth.
