To a sensitive system sugar
is cocaine. Overstimulating
for the brain. Triggering dopamine
clouds to rain and for euphoria
feels to replace pain. Cravings kick in
when it starts to wane. Desperation
to consume more of the same. Crashing
down equal to whatever felt gained
and frustration rises once again.
Parents begin to scold and blame and
relationships begin to strain as
hormone levels are now insane. New
addicts bred into life's game, thanks to
damaging their developing brain.

The Wyrm King
'The Wyrm King' the third and final volume of Beyond the Spiderwick Chronicles by Tony DiTerlizzi and Holly Black. In this volume the fantastical characters are really showing themselves and their various talents. Nick and Laurie and family and still learning and making compromises as well as promises trying to be kept in helping the Nixie's and the other people and entities. Nick along with all the others learn how to help each other past and present. Once again Holly Black's artwork would make great coloring pages. All of these books thanks to Tony and Holly were great show and tell books for all ages.

Refined sugar definitely feels like a drug. It affects your hormones, and causes insulin resistance. Nice work.
Too much of anything is always damaging. Men and women need a lof of education before they become parents. Loved your poem!
I love the emphasis you put on those words. This gives me major “dopamine nation” vibes and im here for it.
Unusual rhythm but I like it. Title is gold.
not to mention the dyes 😱😫
Great poem
