Danita Michelle Allen Poet Blank verse

Today I Said No

Today I said no to Cinnabon... 
Not because I didn't have the money, 
Because I did... 
And not just enough for 1 or 2,
But I had enough for more than a  few.
But.... 
I said no to 
One of my most favorite things.
Sugary, Decadent, Sticky Goodness...
That I decided wouldn't fit into 
My jeans.
I made myself remember, 
That the Goodness 
would be fleeting...
That the Decadence 
& 
Utter Scrumptiousness...
Wouldn't really be 
Treating, 
And may end up defeating...
My plan, my hard work ...
Causing me to lose,
The Ongoing battle 
That I have with 
My subconscious...
The prickish jerk.
But... I did it...
If only for today.
If only for this 1 time.
It happened, 
and 
No matter how many times 
I changed my mind,
I changed it back, 
And
I 
won.
Because I said no...
To Cinnabon.
