chocolate wasn't just
the stuff I smuggled
in my mouth~
an act of defiance
against boring lessons

I was its faithful consumer
as I wanted to grow bigger,
tired of the way
I got passed over
at arm wrestling competitions,
yet lazy enough to reject
the gym and its body-boosting functions

it was something
I placed my hopes and ideal self upon

rather pleased with
my (wit and) warrior motto,
"one bar a day keeps the teasers away,"
I unhibitedly forged ahead,
blissfully unaware of
my depleting allowance and
very constant waistline

Mmmm, I know how you feel...I love chocolate too...
And it started as I was growing up also.
Good thoughts here as to why we start to eat certain foods.

I LOVE chocolate! There, I've said it! I am a person who has a great deal of self-control--except when it comes to chocolate!
Sooooo! I had to come up with an idea to help me not eat numerous pieces at one sitting! I freeze my chocolates! I take one out at a time and savor the flavor of this delectable treat! It really works for me! I suck on the frozen chocolate and it lasts a long time!

I enjoyed your poem on this delicious subject!

Peace, Love & Light,
