Chemical Dependency (in two minutes*)
I blamed caffeine for feeling weird,
So it made sense
That staying away
Would be the cure.
Just yesterday I tried a fast
From coffee, yes,
And tea (why not?)
And sugar, too.
It wasn't hard (well, not at first).
I left for school
With healthy thoughts
And hopes up high.
The first potential warning sign
Was when I missed
My turn to school
(My sister sighed).
The second symptom of withdrawal:
I'd left my notes
For class at home
(My sister groaned).
By three o'clock I fell asleep,
An addict (now
Confirmed -- no doubts).
Today? Two cups.
*Here's my first attempt at a minute. This time around I actually made it iambic. Maybe next time I'll get around to making it rhymed, too.
