What Am I

Like dough 
I am
So malleable 
Shapeable 
Into one
Or many forms

Like dough
I burn
And burn
On stove
On fire
Only to be
Strong, rigid and firm

Like dough
I am 
To provide
Exotic delicacies 
To your tongue
To let you savour me
While am young 

Like dough 
I burn
To be in the shape
And size
You yearn 
And yearn

Like dough
I am a habit
Just a bun
Tasteful, forgetful 
Just a craving
Which makes your stomach burn
