A Poem by jenniewren (J.W. Bouwman)

drink down the sorrow
feel it coat your throat
like this bitter hot chocolate
your coffee girl forgot to add sugar to

lol....that godamn coffee girl. Feel my wrath! I know this isn't funny kit....but it struck me that way for a minute with that last line. Drinking life's bitter cup of sorrow and trying to drag your a*s out of bed each morning is a chore for sure. this has some overwhelming feeling for just four short lines.

That is a start to a bad day when your hot chocolate and life are both biter to the taste. I wonder what the coffee girl got tipped that morning. Very good write.

Life is so filled with flavors and colors, some bright lit and others dark and bitter. These lines, because one can relate to them immediately, provoke a depth of wisdom and a teaspoon of pain... How I wish life could always taste sweet, my friend.

People usually think they can gulp down the negative bitter things- but it's never the case! Unless it's sweetened up and coated with bullshit, it won't slide easily. Well done JW!

Nice and brief, yet effective. Life. Take it straight up, no coffee and no sugar. Real bitter bite:)
