I Am An Idiot

by CJ Maleney   Mar 21, 2017


I knew it was going to go wrong,
I knew if I indulged I would suffer.
But the temptation,
Oh my god the temptation!

A little indulgence?
A little pleasure on a dark day?
How much harm could it cause?
No one will ever find out, I'm miles from home.

Yeah I can ride this out.
But I shouldn't, but I want to gggrrrr.

I gave in.

I was weak and I caved.
That fleeting moment of pleasure,
That bitter sweet moment,
Was it worth it?

Truly was it worth it?

So I sit here now my stomach in knots.
Knowing I'm a bloody fool.
Knowing I am weak.
Regretting everything.

But you must forgive me.

Who can resist such,

Glazed and glowing, warm and sweet. Who can resist a Danish swirl.

Why oh why is there glutton in just about everything I love to eat.

Got ya's! Giggles to oneself

    I think reading everyone's comments on this is just about as entertaining as reading the poem itself!
    This is awesome! Gave me a much needed laugh :)

      I'll be honest, I knew exactly what I was doing with this one.

      I was in a quirky mischievous mood and thought "right let's have some fun".

      So I went fishing, managed to reel a couple in too lol.

      Some of the stuff I write is quite dark so it's nice to play with words in this way. I hope people enjoyed the read as much as I did the write.

    I am such a sucker, I fell for this completely and for some reason I thought........
    oh you know what I'm not even going to say apart from my mind went to the gutter and I need to drag it back out haha!!!
    I have to say it made me laugh though at the end and I like the fast sort of pace which with the ending made me think "will he make it to the loo or not?" Sorry I just imagined with yo indulging having to rush there lol. I'm weird I know!!!

      I totally laughed at your comment here. The loo situation is not an issue, but at 5'8" and pretty slim I feel like I've got a medicine ball stuffed in my stomach

      Sorry I have little brain flashes every now and then, I can go for weeks writing nothing other than a tittle and other times I just waffle on.

      But I seriously should not eat pastry, or batter.

      But sometimes ya just gotta

      Dude stay away from the kebab, there is nothing in those things that belongs of this earth
