So this is a poem I wrote not too long ago when I had this horrendous taste in my mouth. Every time I eat too many sweet things this taste comes back and sometimes it doesn't go away. It kind of makes me lose my appetite and it's extremely annoying. So let me share with you my deep emotion about this issue in poetic form!

Please, just water

Her glands won’t
salivate at
the thought of
funnel cake,
oreo ice cream, and
sugary tea with milk.
There is no question
it must have been the
raspberry lemonade
coating her throat.
The hours
pass by
she watches
time…
the cat slinks away but
the flavor
continues to disgust.
No bitterness
can defeat this
sickening concoction.
Perhaps if she
cut out her
tongue,
her mouth might stop
rotting.
