Some call it gluttony
A deadly sin
I used to call it dealing with life
Through food’s medicine
And poison
I ate family sizes during one meal
Of sugar and salt
I had too much of my fill
It allowed me to sleep sometimes
To end the nightmare of the day
For a short time
Before the effect wore away
Other times it simply calmed me
For a while
That was before the inevitable happened
And diabetes became my status
And I had to stop eating so much
Don’t get me wrong
I still sometimes gain weight
And I sometimes eat too much
But the food is different now
And lasts longer on my shelf
But I know that the damage is done
And I’ll never again fit in a waist size 31
And my body is older than it should be
And no matter how I die
I want the death chart to say
My end came through gluttony
