Even my coffee needs a pep talk,
For I feel no relief when the
caffeine kicks in.
I know the tools
Time heals;
Not all wounds
Are bad memories to ****
Yet I go to war defeated
Escape in the world of dreams,
Only to wake up even more
drained.
Time heals, they say, but how
much time — when it seems
infinite.
Switched off the router today,
Waited a few seconds
Maybe my energy will start
blinking
again.
Not yet,
Dear friend.
Be patient,
The sun has not set.
My coffee just kicked in, and I can
still write a poem.
