T is for Tea


Hello readers, Today is a simple day. Here is one poem that may or may not start with the letter T:

Tea or Coffee

We are from a culture
that loves both

Every household needs it
they may ask for one or the other
but at the end, you'll get both

Ever girl needs to know
how to make both
it's a test to who will love you
or love you more

a test to who is lucky to have you
unless that girl is lucky
finding a guy that can do it.

I really need to find a guy who will know how to make it for himself :(

Neither for me of my family, thanks. We like water in our house. Oh, and apple cider. (American cider.) Am I mean mommy that my kids only drink water or milk?

@Crystal, you're not mean, you're good. This tea/coffee thing is a cultural thing.
I married a guy who is happy to make me coffee every time I want one. I'm so lucky. :-) (Oh, he brews tea, too.)

The Tortured Poets Analysis

Personal Interpretation of The Tortured Poets  Dear readers, I enjoy reading a song and analyzing the lyrics. I love being able to detect the story she's telling while also interpreting it. I develop my own personal connection. Here's a breakdown why some of the lyrics have become my favorite. no one here to blame, what about your quiet treason. the betrayal brought her depression and she’s attempting to move on but the forced energy isn’t healing. It's about struggling with a traumatic situation alone because no one noticed the changes in you. The narrator is envious of those living peaceful lives and frustrated that friends found better people to be with. I've seen this episode and still loved the show, I've read this one where you come undone, I chose this cyclone with you. Depending on the perspective you choose it's about the guilt and regret for getting in your own way or willing to stay with someone through their mental illness. The voices in his head cal...
