Sugar

You, like sugar, I desire. 

You, like sugar crystals, shine in the light.  

You, like sugar, make me high. 

And you, like sugar, make me crash.  

 

You, like sugar, I am told to avoid. 

You, like sugar, make me regret.  

You, like sugar, sicken me. 

And you, like sugar, motivate me to change.
