I Gave Up Sugar For Lent

I gave up sugar 

For Lent

Forty days seem far

But I won't bend

It's funny how

One can depend

On one thing that

Doesn't really help

I gave up sugar

And as I did,

I hope to become 

A better me

Free from the junk

And from all unnecessities

I gave up sugar

For Lent,

And so far 

I don't regret

It is not always easy

I won't pretend

I gave up sugar

For Lent,

And I know

It's for the best.

Author's Note

I haven't really written poetry in English but I'd like to do it more often and better myself at it. So any constructive feedback are welcome.

Nice one. I really like the repetition in the lines. Lent can be a trying time if you try to go with it! haha!

It was! But In the end I was very happy to have given up sugar for 40 days! :D
