Sour Patch Kids
April 18, 2019
What if Sour Patch Kids used to be sweet
Like a torn hero crumbled by defeat
Or a soft melody drowned out by a fist
A beautiful soul with scars on its wrist
Once a masterpiece shattered like glass
A smile that shields the pain of the past
A loving mind poisoned by words
Desperate for relief for what has occurred
An innocent life drowned by grief
Whose happiness was taken by a thief
Corrupt by a curse that can’t be undid
What if we all turn out to be a Sour Patch Kid?
