~Friendlier Alarm Clock~
I lie in bed innocently sleeping
When my peace is ruptured
By a repeated, loud beeping
Erupting from my demonic, evil piece of plastic.
I walk half-asleep
Towards the kitchen, where I breathe in
The familiar, luscious aroma.
The longing arises in my throat
For the caffeine mixture filling the room with joy
I take a sip out of the warm, white mug
It burns my tongue immediately
But I don’t care, I take another sip
The bitter liquid ignites my tastes buds like fireworks
And I decide
That coffee is a friendlier alarm clock.
