Sugar Sugar Sugar Sugar

I am treating the next few months like a new day. I have to change some of my own bad habits.  One of which is eating way too much sugar as candy.  Food Addiction is a real thing.

Sugar Sugar Sugar Sugar

Getting a migraine

Getting a twitch,

I feel myself quickly needing a fix.

A bag of gummi bears

A can of Dr. Pepper,

Quickly followed by another

And the flow of relief

When I eat a hand full

Of sweet

Sugar Sugar Sugar Sugar

I can’t walk by

A 7/11

Without say thank heavens

For something artificially colored.

I fill up the second drawer

Of my night stand with more

So I can get cavities

And diabetes in the middle of the night.

Sugar Sugar Sugar Sugar

…yes I see the hypocrisy.

I give nutrition advice

While I can’t get control

Of my own life,

Leading by bad example.

The cravings come from childhood

And deep set memories

Weak willpower

And low self esteem

But today is a new day

With new aches and pains

And I just have to sweat it out

And cut it out

Sugar Sugar Sugar Sugar

Can no longer be all that I am about.
