A Slice of Humble Pie
Eating cake had become my mainstay...
the fluffiness of success and the sweet frosting
of victory
Oh, that sweet, sweet life of mine...
just eating and forgetting the bitter limes
Binging on triple and quadruple layers...
no signs of stopping and no cares
Opulent chins and fat rolls building up...
lethargy and amnesia becoming my death cup
The vegetables and greens of hard work and dedication I forgot....
foolishly, these core essentials I left out to rot
But that sweet taste quickly became bitter with jeers, I can't deny...
'cause last night I was served a nice big slice of 'humble pie
So I'm working out, dieting, and fasting...
henceforth natural whole food long-lasting
