'Diet Coke' by Ravyn LaRue


They say it mummifies you from the inside out
It’s a scary thought
That’s why I don’t drink
But that’s now
And I bet I’ll fall for it someday
I’m prone to alcoholism, being a writer and all
Just like you
But you’re more virtuous than most I know
And it is Magnificent
And a sin that some people despise you
My dad worries I’ll turn out like you
But I hope nothing more
You are one of the most effervescent people I know
And your beliefs mean so much to you that others are prone to listen
You’ve suffered abuse as I’m beginning to sink into
But you rose from it and became as brilliant as you are
There is such virtuous passion surrounding your spirit
They say it mummifies you from the inside out
But at least then, your body will match your soul’s immortality
