It all starts
with cup of tea promises,
watered down lies,
and coffee depression.
When we've taken our breath;
inhaled the aroma of the mug
and accepted what we find,
we drink--
to our own distaste
our own dissatisfaction.
Yet between bitter sips
warmed chest;
clutched hands,
we sit in comfort of the liquid--
as if the elixir of life itself
Snuck into the drink.
Despite broken cups,
with cracks and chips
we hold to the tea dependently;
take comfort
and smile.

Now me lay down to sleep.
Mow da zeebas down like sheep.
Give dem to me nice and dead.
Me no happy til me fed.

I think you've done a wonderful job expressing how something as simple as a cup of tea can really offer a small comfort. No, it doesn't make everything better. But as you so eloquently expressed, it is something to find some comfort in.

What a nice sentiment, carefully observed, beautifully crafted and eloquently set out for the reader. The poem's sense of pace, progression and control through punctuation is matched only by its articulation of ideas.
Nicely done, I quite feel like a cup of tea
