#coffeee
I will always remember you
Just like
How an old library book remembers
Coffee stains.

I can barely open my eyes
Can barely open my mind
Can barely fake a smile
Im not sad nor mad
Just depleted
Utterly defeated to this aching head
The tension rising in the back of my neck
Im slumped forward on my desk
Eyes open mind asleep
I silently admit defeat
As I smile
As I nod
Stifling a yawn
No, a sob
I sit up, grab a coffee cup
Feel the fake energy rush through my veins
Get through another day
My mind in overdrive
My thoughts faster than the speed limit
Unable to slow down
Work hard for the hall of fame
It's a shame, it's just out of arm's reach. You tell me: Persevere
You tell me, to hold on my dear
So I listen and then I go home
I am a mindless drone
I soar, rise and fall
Then float in between
Know what I mean?
So I wonder
At what point
Are we sacrificing too much?
Compromising too much?
And getting too little in return?

You used to be my
cup of coffee,
But I drink tea now.
