Poetry: A Stressful August Time

Caffeine

I like the way you make me feel

The adrenaline in my veins

The calming of my ocean

The soother of mental pains

The honing of ADHD

Creates clarity in my brain

My miserable state

Is now a forgotten eyestrain

Unrelated to the prior poem

My right eye twitches

Possible relation to lack of good sleep

Most probable reason is stress

So many hours in a day

So many days in a year

So many years in a decade

This decaying life do I fear

I want to do everything

But my body only goes so far

The thought of doing bother task

Leaves me in shambles

I’m in internal distress

But I have to keep going

To reap what I sew

I have to wait till harvest season
