Coffee

There's probably a reason you're addicted

Coffee is my anti-murdering juice,

A cup a day keeps me sane enough to function in society.

You could say it's my version of a ciggerate.

My instant hit of dopamine- happy juice, or do I just like the creamer?

Maybe.

It could also be the only consistent thing I can drink daily that keeps me happy,

Or am I just addicted to caffeine?

Maybe.

I can't help it though,

Caffeine keeps the demons at bay.

Or is it because I don't look good in orange?

Maybe.

I do know I am too pretty for prison,

Maybe.

So, I'll continue to drink my coffee.
