Cotton Candy

Sweet,

Fluffy,

Take a bite of cotton candy.

Savour the saccharine scent that only lasts for a second

Before it makes you want more,

For feeling the bitter emptiness of your mouth

Would be unbearable.

Immerse yourself in the plastic smiles,

Fake flowers,

And brittle promises

Of this cotton candy society.

Live in a universe of naïve sweetness,

Oblivious to the cruel truth of our world,

Pain and suffering masked by

Wisps of cotton candy.
