SWEET TALK WAS SOUR IN MY HOUSE

The lemonade I drink is sour,
reminds me of my childhood,

the sugar was not spilled before my feet,
while I was conquering the barren land of life -
on which I was walking,

mom and dad say the sweet life is expensive,
but we always had sugar in the kitchen vitrine,
I guess for guests, what do I know.

Come to think of it, this lemonade is full of sugar.
