Glow Up, Grow Up Scholarship Poem

Thu, 06/27/2019 - 13:43 -- DynamoE

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.
