Sugary Succinct

Sweet foods can fling
Urge that now stings


Grief can speak plain
Ailment that strains


Reach for a way
Yield to harsh stay


Dreary this lot
Indulge sad thought


Appeal to form
Bloom in odd norm


Expose the threat
Trust in mindset


Treat each new day
Expect bold sway


Set in sure time
Meet broken rhymes


Express your pain
Live harsh restraint


Love yourself first
Indulge vain thirst


Touch what must be
Use cheer to see


So much lays waste
Note style's sweet haste


Opt mime and quest
Work out your best


Allow time space
Live well your face


Impress your heart
Groom mind with art


Now hurl sweet rhymes
Seed craft's sure time


Feel that sad line
Ask help divine


Truth and trust steer
Expect help here
