Marshmallow People
Marshmallow People
nostrils flair inhaling the scent
of marshmallow people
empty calories bad for the brain
but man oh man
what a sugar rush
memorized by
endorphin dancing feet
caught in the cool lights
like a deer unable to run
your eyes glaze over
as this temporary tasty treat
consumes your intelligence
and you just don’t care
as long as you’re there
somewhere deep inside your mind
your conscious screams
there is no one else here
and deep down you know
you are all alone
in this place where
nobody really knows your name
it doesn’t matter though
sparkling smiles and porcelain eyes
greet you eagerly just the same
and for a split second
you feel like you may belong
in this sugar coated world
sometimes late at night
when you can’t sleep and your truths
demand some kind of understanding
and your sanity teeters on the realities
of what you truly need to feel alive
for a moment you doubt
your new sucrose way of life
but then you decide
its worth the price and
the things you need to really survive
get pushed aside
you just can’t help it
you’re addicted
you got to have that sugar high
