Sugar or Salt

Choices

Do you taste

When your words

Spew like fire

When you throw

A pity party

Because you crave desire

When you let your mouth run wild

Like an angry little child

Throwing away

The sweet remains

Like salt rotting the mouth

In which it contains

Where is the love

When a compliment passes by

A breathtaking thought

To just be kind

For the stunning imagination

In the world of your mind

When the magic is so awesome

That it makes you rhyme

To see such beauty

In the sky of your eyes

Like a little twinkle

I see what's inside

Not the shadows

Not the pain

But a lovely soul

That wants to stay

In a world so bright

I will always pray

Bless your heart

Because... Sugar

You are okay
