Have you ever been so crabby because you’ve been without your coffee? Don’t deny it, I know you know what I’m talking about. Nothing will do as a substitute, the black tea, holistic herbal concoctions, coffee, coffee, the strong caffeine hit, it’s what I am needing, it’s what my soul hounds for, this substance I am seeking, desperately begging for. Don’t tell me that I’m petty, that I’m a pseudo-addict, I need this to function properly, can’t you hear my futile cries, cannot you view my need? I know there are others just like me, put your hands up, express your empathy, let us join together and perhaps you can provide me a large pot of steaming liquid so dark. I’ll mix in creamer and sugar with such flamboyance, my heart full of splendour, the first sip is what I’ve been dreaming of, that which my heart has been aching to be delivered. And this sip finally rolls onto my tongue, scalding my taste buds, running down my throat, such a welcome sensation: I love coffee the most. I survive on it, I thrive off it, it doesn’t wire me anymore, it’s pure functionality, I need it to be, please allow me to push aside your humble cup of tea. And now my kitchen is stocked up, beans, grind and instant, whichever mood I’ll be in, and with wonder and amazement I’ll take in this spectacular substance, and survive all day long with a smile across my dial, I must drink and drink and drink, to satisfy my high tolerance. © 2020 Lauren M.

True lauren. Its difficult to be without coffee.
Somehow, I have kept it off me for the last two months, to discipline my mind.

Two months is quite a feat, Sang, especially if you were used to having it daily! Congratulations on this accomplishment. ☺️
