Habits... Poem by Shelley L Baxter

You ask me, why do I need Caffeine?
I got to tell ya it helps me stay awake.
From early morning til the end of day
my energy drinks are drank for that sake.
Without them most days my awareness would pay,
when evening comes and Iv'e had all I can take...
they're for times when all I wish to do is find a place to lay.
Thank God not everyday do I have to partake
in this ritual I will stop succumbing to...and one day slay.
