Sugar Disease
In and out, in and out;
The poisons enter me.
It's a struggle each day
to control the habits that devour me.
Just one bite and all your dreams come true.
we grew and grew and grew
up as children believing this as truth.
No one ever told us that it could lead us to rue--
rue everything we ever ingested
we were tested and guessed that we were invincible.
The weight upon your hips, thighs, and shoulders
feel more like boulders to me.
Eventually, it can lead you to your end
if you begin to lose your sanity.
