Coffee

Brutal honesty is like black coffee,

straight forward.

Love is like espresso,

a sugar  rush that goes away to fast,

and sometimes can be bittersweet.

Ambition is like the creme in my black coffee,

it sets it off and gives me something to look forward to.

Determination/ Persistence is like the sugar,

it has to be there, it's what helps the creme.

Failure is the bitter grains left in the cup,

an unsatisfactory, yet it can be easily fixed with patience and experience.

See you need to think of life like a good cup of coffee,

a few grains here, a bit of sugar there,

some creme to top it off, espresso to spike it,

And of course black coffee to start it all.
