Gluttony

A part of my seven deadly sins anthology...

Her curves,

as smooth as the picturesque hills we envision in landscapes.

Her cheeks,

like peaches.

Her skin as smooth as cream.

She craves more than she needs.

She consumes more than she requires,

in order for her desire to be fulfilled.

Over the years, this has grown to be no more than a bad habit.

A habit she cannot seem to stop.

She needs to over indulge

in order to stop the withdrawal symptoms.

She knows she consumes the forbidden.

She needs faith, temperance.

Like the pig, she continues this scale of consumption.

She is frequently told,

“Eat to live, Do not live to eat”

And still gluttony is her crime.

The last of the seven deadly sins. Always struggled with the 'sin' part. Doesn't seem quite fair for some to be afflicted while others have no natural inclination. Regardless... well done.
