Glow Up, Grow Up Scholarship Poem
One thing my body told while I was growing up,
If the food's hitting on anything, the flavors WILL show up
As a kid, I ate anything, my palette made other kids want to throw up
It's not my fault I was interested in the culture.
One snack every kid remembers,
Cosmic Brownies, the moisture in the middle, visible when dismembered.
M&M chips, fudge, triple chocolate,
Set my sights, ain't no stopping it.
Not anymore, my tastebuds just won't have it,
Plus it'll send my stomach into a havoc
It was an overnight event,
One day that chocolatey delight began to taste like wet cement.
At that moment, I knew I was beginning to glow up,
Becasue that taste never caused my taste buds to show up.
