Ode to Sugar

ode to sugar

Sugar, sugar, sugar
Your empty calories
Stick to my thighs like glue
Yet your taste,
I remain true.

I eat you with haste
Every bite, every crumb
There is no waste
But yet you make me feel dumb.

All take and no give
A life for you, I cannot live.

For with you my days are short
By eating you,
Death I do court.

To my body you add fat
and hurt my self-esteem
You have no good qualities
Of which to redeem.

You have power over me
My cravings for you
Will not let me be
Sweets made from you
I don’t need to see.

Get out of my life
And healthier I will be
A slim, energetic, happy
person others will see.
