Cantaloupe

It's a true story. It's about life and motivation. Cutting the cantaloupe inspired me and I knew I had to write this.

Some time after midnight,

my belly craved a snack.

I visualized a cantaloupe

while laying on my back.

It hadn't been a good day;

I simply loafed about.

The cantaloupe had crossed my mind,

but I had opted out.

It was too much work, I thought;

too much slicing, too much mess...

So I ate the easy things

and continued to depress.

But in that moment, late at night,

when the day was done,

I decided I would slice,

and in the process, have some fun!

I thought about my future,

while I cut and ate with glee.

A brilliant plan flashed in my mind,

as decision set me free.
