The struggles of avoiding sugar
A poem on saying no to sugar (which is SOOO hard!)
They say, “Sugar is harmful”
We’ve heard it a million times.
But compare it to other addictions,
it wouldn’t even qualify as a crime.
The thing is, I haven’t had sugar
in 48 hours, or maybe more!
My willpower is strong, but hey,
I’m a dessert-lover to the core.
How to say no to the inviting,
delicious, piping hot jalebi?
The call of a creamy, light cheesecake
Turns me from an adult into a baby.
Yes, the calorie intake is high
But it’s about the happiness too!
‘Stressed’ is ‘desserts’ spelt backwards,
Just change the point of view.
Comforting, irresistible, indulgent
a pleasure beyond divine.
Every meal must end on a sweet note
or else, you’ll hear me whine!
Sugar causes inflammation,
it also harms oral health,
but can anything really replace
the way desserts make me felt?
How long before I succumb,
to the heavenly sweets that beckon?
Maybe I shouldn’t count the days,
focus on the benefits, I reckon.
Still waiting for the day that scientists
come up with an innovation.
How to indulge in my favourite treats,
without guilt, with only elation!
