Stir the Soul in the Coffee Cup

In the cup of life, coffee's duality unfolds

Bitterness mingles with sweetness untold

Not in stirring's motion, the secret lies

But in deciding if sugar adds or denies

Likewise, pain's presence, a complex refrain

Not in forgetting alone, does healing attain

But in the courage to embrace a fresh dawn

To let go, rebuild, and carry on

For life's flavors blend, bitter and sweet

A tapestry woven, emotions complete

In the choices we make, the paths we traverse

Do we shrink or rise, as challenges immerse?

So ponder not the stirring or sugar's measure

But the strength within to find newfound treasure

For coffee and pain, mere metaphors they be

The true essence lies in the courage to be free
