Overload Sugar Rush Poem by Marie Jones

Candy coated apples

Chocolate ice cream with just a bit of sprinkles

Tangy mike and Ike

Skittle flavored milkshakes with cherries on top

Gingerbread cookies with a strike of milk

Watery lemonade

Cupcakes of wonder

Twisted vines of vanilla extract

Banana cream pie with whip cream on top

Just the perfect life full of innocence

Sour patches running through the veins of angel cake

Dry gumdrops running the chocolate wafers

A Fein for the extra sugar planted down the roots which she dare not goes

The black roses that stood from the berry rush

Just a strawberry ruining the veins of innocence

The black licorice is was just so irresistible wanting to try it

But too afraid for it gives you addiction to the darkness

The rotten sweetness of a teenage girl

A strawberry to a blackberry

Consideration and a fan of sweet suicide

Vitamin pills that scream “eat me I’m death! ! ! ”

Tempting to do it, she asks for a peck of beauty to awaken

No savior from the ugliness of the sour patches

She cries watery fruit punch that gives diabetes

She shall never have candy coated apples again they all say

But she smiles hours later because she realizes

She isn’t the only one who lost her sweetness

Because she looks at me as a role model

Because I myself have sour patches too

And we all who have lost our sweetness to the evil sour patches

Shall stand together holding hands fighting it as one

We will shoot those sour patches with fireballs of sweetness

And we shall laugh as they fall

Don’t shed a tear girl

Because we are sour patches hoping to become sweet again

And candy coated apples we shall be someday! ! ! ! ! !
