Living a bittersweet life on semi-sweet dreams
Counting the cost in bites, chomps and nibbles
Wondering if I will rise to the occasion
Or remove myself from the heat before I’m ready
Am I melting into something beautiful
Or am I just an add on sooner underappreciated
Can I be appreciated in my purity
Or will I always be morphed into what you will find more palatable
I walk the line of pleasure and pain
Breathing ever so lightly
Afraid to tip the scales into sourness
Must I be artificial to get your attention
When you finally decide you’ve had your fill of all the fluff
You’ll have missed my refined substance
