if it makes me happy,
it’s not good for me,
in fact, it’s worse for me,
because I get addicted

if it’s tasty,
I over-eat it,
if it’s interesting,
I over study it
if it’s fun,
I over-do it

if it appeases my addictions,
I’ll do anything for it

women
poetry
diet coke
sweets

these are all delights
I cannot have
for they are poison,
to me
