Description

Caffeine is a magical powder that challenges the foe called drowsiness. Yet its spoils include a homework assignment known as insomnia. Celebrated as a hero during daily meetings and overtime, it becomes its harshest critic in nightly self-inquiries. Promising awakening while deferring bodily fatigue, it ultimately shackles one in a debt of exhaustion. Truly the poetic alchemy of bitterness and sweetness in a liquid form.
