Spoken Word

Food

While food remained my best friend.

My heart pained even more.

Even the crunch of this chip cannot remove the feeling of hurt and defeat.

When my starchy past visit me during this time.

Who will help me leap through this one.

Comfort me oh grain.

Teach me how to survive when all is bitter.

Teach me to marry only happy moments.

Every time I empty my cup.

The undesolved crystals become a reminder of my unfinished life.

Help me stir this jar very well.

Flavour my habits to think well.

To do well...
