Sugar
partaking of you I never feel blue
sugar oh sugar you always see me through
you make me feel blissful just like love
you are my craving and I can't get enough
the effect much the same as heroin
sugar oh sugar you are my sin
why do you think heroin is brown sugar on the street
sugar oh sugar you are so very sweet
dopamine and serotonin slowly release
sugar oh sugar you blissful reprieve
after a while comes the crash and burn
that is when to more sugar I turn
you're socially accepted and legal too
no wonder it was so easy to fall for you
today you'd never be approved by the FDA
that's why I'm determined not to let you stay
it is therefore that now I must say goodbye
forever bidding farewell to my oh so sweet high
sugar oh sugar you always see me through
you make me feel blissful just like love
you are my craving and I can't get enough
the effect much the same as heroin
sugar oh sugar you are my sin
why do you think heroin is brown sugar on the street
sugar oh sugar you are so very sweet
dopamine and serotonin slowly release
sugar oh sugar you blissful reprieve
after a while comes the crash and burn
that is when to more sugar I turn
you're socially accepted and legal too
no wonder it was so easy to fall for you
today you'd never be approved by the FDA
that's why I'm determined not to let you stay
it is therefore that now I must say goodbye
forever bidding farewell to my oh so sweet high

I used to love sugar till my addiction became diabetes and I was forced to give it up or die. That's what my doctor said and it helped shock me back into the world of the living at 32. Still, I do so love the occasional sugary delight, as long as I only do it once in a while, it hasn't killed me yet. Ssshhhh, don't tell my doc, he will stab me with a needle full of something I don't want.

Thank you for your comment and telling me your experience with sugar. I haven't experienced any negative long term health problems, but addiction to sugar has been a factor for me for far too long and even though it's never gotten completely out of hand, it's something I want to give up because I don't want any negative consequences to my health in the future.

I am addicted to caffeine. I go through really bad withdrawal when I don't have it, but I enjoy it. I loved your poem and how it reflected on how we're addicted to socially acceptable drugs.
I also just loved the poem itself and thought it was creative and nice.

It's funny you should mention caffeine. It happens to be my other legal addiction. Most of my "addictions" I seem to have a handle on, but caffeine along with sugar I'd really like to give up. Thanks for your comment and for liking the poem. :)
