Coffee

By Verain, age 16

____

Warmth,
Sweet and soothing,
First sips,
Morning bliss,
It's like a kiss

Feeling low,
Lids of eyes closing,
Like I won't last,
A fresh cup,
Lets me look past,
The stress,
The exhaustion,
The heavy world around me

A moment paused,
Eyes opened,
Only a few seconds,
An ease in the madness

Life to my veins,
Dulling of cold,
Heartbeat in sync,
With the rush of thoughts I think

The sound of the machine,
A sweet relief,
Hope,
Hope that I will keep standing
