My sugar coated life,
This candy apple hell
I thought I knew for sure
the things I know so well
This is much too sweet
too drenched in happy pastels
I yearn for so much more
Yet I'm trapped in these bright cells
My weakness is my taste
I want more than I can have
But the more I try
the less I want to continue on this path
The sugar will decay
the colors will fade out
maybe then and only then
will I feel free to roam about
This picture perfect life
I should have known from the start
would soon lose it's luster
and begin to fall apart
