when you’re young and free
it tastes like white chocolate mocha
from the Starbucks.
insanely sweet that it makes you want
to stop when you had too much but
you keep wanting more
cause you think it’s worth
the price you pay.
now you’re getting older
it starts to taste like black coffee
bitter and sugarless
you feel like adding some sugar and creamer
sweeten it, turn it from black to white again.
though you know it will only change
to brown when suddenly
you’re running out of time
you can’t help but notice that
it tastes like red Bloody Mary
hot and spicy
redden your face
makes you run in tears. but
when you look and think back
you’ll find the truth that
it is tasteless
just like the plain water
the king of all drinks, and
it’s your own choice
to blend it
with your desired flavor.
