Harmful

But Worth It

I do things that are harmful to me

Because it feels good to me for a short moment

But later in the day

Sometimes even at midnight

My body reminds me of the decision I made

Regret hits me in the face

But not hard enough for me to learn my lesson

———————————————————————

This is a deep poem with a sad tone, right? But its about me drinking sodas and eating chocolate that makes me break out in hives and itch at night. An Antihistamine usually works to calm the itching down and help me sleep. Hehe not that deep.

    Haha, I thought this was about something really deep at first! 😆I do things I know aren’t good for me too. Sodas and chocolate are hard to resist! 😂 Hope the antihistamine helps!

    You've crafted a relatable and witty poem that highlights the universal struggle of indulging in guilty pleasures. The playful twist at the end adds a charming touch.

    Haha, you had me thinking it was some heavy emotional piece, but nope—just a tragic love story between you and soda & chocolate! The struggle is real, but at least there's an antihistamine happy ending! 😁💖
