Marshmallow shallow

We have to swallow a bitter pill Camouflaged as a sweet candy cane. Like a cushion against our will, Sugarfree accepted just in rain.

Something's burning to lifeless and grey, But coal and truth are hard to swallow. Either conform or become the prey, No deep thoughts, be marshmallow shallow.

Behind the sprinkles and chocolate glaze, Tiny flaws do always go unseen. The best of us are on sugar craze, Hyperactive and beaming onscreen.

Marshmallow mind, cotton candy smiles, All those might lead to an overdose. Crashes crystallized from poor lifestyles, Joy caramelized - the end is close.

From crushed tiny candies shaped like hearts, Silly details that melt into peace, Were born their violet counterparts. Pastel hearts slowly blush dark cerise.
