Need Caffeine: a Poem

Caffeine is destructive for my

physical health, but

it fuels my

creative well-being.

Caffeine waters the seedling

in my soul to

confidently take root

and to grow,

to show my progress and

my process, so that

when I Bloom,

my Journey is so

vibrantly made aware,

that I can

delight

another seedling to

unearth without fear.

“Be not afraid,

I go before you always.

Come follow me,

and I will lead you

home.”
