Edited, but still in chat format, here is the poem that I suddenly sprung upon my poor friends in the midst of writing a lab report. Enjoy yourselves as I get back to my work. #TotallyNotShade.

here:
I'll pile on the candy
It's such a pretty sight
Makes the food taste dandy
But my tummy hurts all night
me 6:56 PM
THE CHOCOLATE CAKE
MY AUNT BROUGHT SOME YESTERDAY
I CRIED
SUCH BEAUTY
SUCH MAJESTY
FROSTING DIRECTLY FROM THE MASTER
UNPARALLELED WONDER
COINCIDENTALLY, IT WAS MY FOOD OF CHOICE, MY VERY FAVORITE
THERE IS NONE LIKE IT IN ALL THE EARTH
ON MY TABLE IT SAT
WAS IT HEAVEN? BUT IT WAS DEVIL'S FOOD
SWEET TEMPTATION
MY MOM WATCHED WITH A TORTUROUS GRIN
"Eat your food."
I SHOVELED MY SUSTENANCE AT THE SPEED OF SOUND
AT LAST, I COULD.
BUT THEN —
SHE GLANCED AT ME
I COULD'VE SWORN IT WAS A SNEER
Al G. 6:56 PM
um...
me 6:59 PM
MY HEART SANK
I DIDN'T CLEAN MY ROOM
WOULD SHE, MY MOTHER, TRULY ALLOW ME TO PARTAKE OF THE TREAT?
I DID AN ATROCIOUS DANCE TO GAIN HER FAVOR
NOT A LAUGH,
NOT A CHUCKLE.
WITH SCALDING EYES SHE GAZED AT ME
MY FACE DROPPED
"Fine, have it, you disgusting."
I REJOICED AS IF I HAD JUST GIVEN BIRTH TO MY FIRST-BORN CHILD
IN MY ARMS, I TOOK IT
GENTLY,
TENDERLY

PoetryAn impromptu piece I sprung upon my friends in the middle of writing a lab report. Which is literally what I am supposed to be doing at the moment. This happened literally in the middle of a conversation. Oh, well. FOUR LAYERS, ASDFGHJKL.
