Temptations Poem by Elena Blackwood

I have a thirst I can not quench,
A hunger I cannot control.
It's tempting,
tempting me to want things I shouldn't want,
to do things I shouldn't do.
In whispers in my ear,
taunting me.
'It won't make a difference,
just one more time.'
I must not give in!
God knows what I will become if I do...

It's getting harder to resist.
I see it's face everyday,
leering,
knowing that I will give in.
NO!
I must prevail!

The time has come.
I can't take it any longer.
The longing inside of me can not wait.
I submit.
I accept.
I eat the doughnut.
