Marshmallow

Kids are mesmerized

By your fluffy innocence

Clouds of sugar

And vanilla

The color of purity

A delectable day dream

Young and sweet

You bring smiles

And laughter

Drugs for the children

Happy drugs

The kind that

Makes them want to stay

A joyful kid

Forever

However

You are vulnerable

You tear with ease

No protection from

The outside world

Time moves forward and you become

Stale

Another manufactured item

Dirt and grime

Reality

Gets stuck to you

And cannot be removed

You are ruined

And could be a time

When you will be held

Over hungry ruby flames

And you will fall

And melt
