Caffeine Withdrawal

Woke up, then crashed for three days in a row,
It had to be done for my well-being,
There goes my energy, out the window.

Of all the things, I ask, why must this be?
Once energizing, but now it’s draining:
Woke up, then crashed for three days in a row.

Went to bed hoping that the rain would stop.
Comes tomorrow, still welcomed by pouring;
There goes my energy, out the window.

Oh, the pouring rain hums a lullaby
In a moment, I found myself sleeping,
Woke up, then crashed for three days in a row.

Again, the day began and it went slow,
Time kept passing by, both slow and fleeting;
There goes my energy, out the window.

Feeling powerless, going with the flow,
Knowing this is all for my wellbeing
Woke up, then crashed for three days in a row,
There goes my energy, out the window.
