My Drug of Choice

Subpar

Caffeine is a drug,

Without it I feel like a slug.

I will not just shrug,

If they pull the plug,

To my coffee IV,

They will soon see,

Just how angry I can be,

When I don't have any coffee in me.

I am just waiting for a high,

Otherwise they will see me soon cry,

And sigh, and sigh, and sigh,

Not really sure why,

Or how I got this way,

What can I say?

I guess it all started,

When my energy departed.

But ever since I got covid twice,

My body has paid the price.

Coffee and caffeine doesn't seem to work,

which is driving me absolutely berserk!
