Cereal

by Daishia O'Loughlin

I never thought

I'd see the day

that I'd live off of cereal

but I have to say

when I have no access

to any other food

it's satisfying

and brightens my mood

Honey Nut cheerios

are actually quite healthy

not a lot of calories

or sugar like people tell me

As I munch on these cheerios

I'm satisfied with life

and the hunger disappears

so now the end of my strife

The picture of the happy bumble bee

sub-consciously fills my mind with glee

I'm distracted as I'm no longer hungry

This is actually quite sad...but oh well...poor me

Cereal is a food

for those who are desperately in need

of relief from the pain

of being hungry

Cereal is a food

that children like me

will eat gladly

hungry or not

It's simply fate, or destiny
