Bittersweet

 It's like a bittersweet taste: sometimes I'm on the bitter side, other times on the sweet side of it. It never gets extremely sweet; it does, though, get extremely bitter at times. 

It all depends on how deep my thoughts are, on how sweetly others treat me. What treats do I get, what kids get me on my nerves. What nerves get me on my kids. 

It's like the imagination of kids. They are always floating around like balloons flying all over a place, searching for new hiding sites, new words to learn, new strategies to acquire. 

Life's like that: bittersweet. Mostly bitter of bitter thoughts that affect the taste of my sweet food. 

It never gets sweet. It only seems sweet.

It will never be sweet unless I die.
