False Promises

Forest Gump is right

You Never Know What your’e gonna get

When it comes to a box of chocolates

But sometimes you ignore the surprise labels 

plastered right on the front of the packaging 

Because all you can think about is the way 

The chocolate will ooze into your mouth 

The way it looks almost too good to eat

You can’t wait to dive into it

As you take your delicate hands

And set your camera onto your “tripod” ( truly just a zebra stuffed animal) 

And open it with purpose and intention

Man you think

Nothing else in the world matters

You open the box

Ready to divulge into galore

But all you get

Is underwhelming piece that is malformed 

Crumbled

Melted 

And so questions cloud your mind

To what happened to the chocolate 

It looked almost too perfect from the outside

Like what you see?
