Decaf, Please
May 11, 2017
I can't handle caffeine
Decaf, please
As I can't feel my legs
My hands are shaking
An empty stomach full of liquid coffee beans
A morning full of betrayal of a mind and body
No complimentary shot of espresso
No extra sugar
As I'm sensitive to the rush,
an anxiety trigger
So, please,
A cup of decaf
No cream
