My Kryptonite

My Kryptonite

  Sweet tooth is the sweet truth of mine.
  And my kryptonite! Any time, day, or night.
  I know, this is wrong, not right.
  May be termed as vice!
   But to me perfect and nice.

   Sweet attachment inherited from my father
   Transmitted to all siblings: Sister and brother.
   I hold disciplined persona with controlled life- style
   Showing my exact profile.
  Yet can’t restrain myself from sweet dish
   Always to relish.
  
   In any party or feast
   I eat little from main course
   letting sufficient space for desserts
   to satisfy greedy sweet taste buds
  though inviting health hazards.

 In spite of sugar problem, I feel helpless
   but to indulge sweet intakes:
     My kryptonite
     through day and night.

Anisa, like I always say to guests, "Leave room for dessert." I love sweets, too, but I have to be careful because of diabetes. Enjoyed your poem; enjoy your kryptonite!
