Chocolate

 

By Chelsea Sharp

 

 

Growing up I was told that chocolate was the best desert ever.

I was also told that chocolate actually almost goes with everything.

It’s essential dessert that makes your meal whole.

But that depends on your taste buds.

If this is true, why do you hate me?

 

Chocolate can come in any flavor imaginable.

Chocolate covered raisins, chocolate covered pretzels

Devil’s chocolate cake, and much more.

But you still find a way to hate me?

I am aware that chocolate isn’t for everyone, but damn

You didn’t have to put a hit out on me.

Chocolate is loved worldwide.

But you still find a way to hate me?

 

You act as if we give candy a bad rep.

It’s not our fault that we are so rich and flavorful.

Are you jealous of my ingredients?

I hope not.

Chocolate is so sweet to eat.

We are wrapped in shiny wrappers,

Golden, red, silver, and brown.

I thought I was everyone’s treat, but obviously I’m not yours.

But why, I mean why do you hate me?

 

You don’t have to mess with me, I understand.

When you see me while walking down the aisle,

You don’t have to give me a dirty look.

I’m sorry that you don’t like me and that I don’t appeal to your taste.

But I advise that you don’t have to go through such lengths,

To show that you don’t like me.

It’s not my fault I’m so delicious.
