Poem Draft: Macaron

I am a macaron
colorful
tasty
cute
wondering if your going to give me the boot
knowing that it needs to be handled with
care
having a strong yet fragile shell
but
when broken
sensitive and insecure
inside of me a soft spot
so nice and chewy
it's hard to find the right dot
each macaron so delicate like a cloud
so fun and friendly
bubbly inside
and can't wait to be mines
quiet at first
soft and shy
but
when in your mouth
so sweet and kind
it's just pure honestly
there is nothing to hide
I am a macaron the purest of it's kind
