Caffeine
Caffeine
My crutch
My friend
My salvation
My enemy
My addiction
Caffeine
Agave sweetened black tea, hot or iced
Unsweetened green tea, hot
Stevia sweetened, milk enhanced coffee
Loads of dark chocolate
No soda please
Caffeine
You wake me
Keep me alert
When asleep I'd rather be
But deadlines call
Function necessitates
Caffeine
You enhance my mood
Make me smile
When a frown feels more natural
Ah, the drug you are
Caffeine
You make me a bit more patient
When the mean spirited man
Spouts the hatred in his heart
Though I'd rather superglue his mouth shut
Caffeine
You relieve my pain
Sooth my aches
Artificial and temporary
Though it may be
Caffeine
I reach for you
When my day is bad
Though I know
The fix is an illusion
Caffeine
Overindulgence of you
Makes my hands shake
Makes my body jittery
Makes my heart race
Caffeine
Abstaining from you
Frustrates my focus
Makes me sleepy
Creates intense craving
Caffeine
You are as hard on my body as alcohol or narcotics
In different and similar ways
You lift my spirits for the moment
You allow me to ignore my body's signals
Caffeine
At least you're legal
