Coffee bean.

I found myself at a coffee table, tasting the freshly brewed coffee and looking down into my cup I saw my reflection on the black surface with ripples. How could the taste of something so bitter and dark be so comforting on a morning and so refreshing? Why is it that something so easily masked with milk and sugar could still be cherished so well? 
I was stuck in between sips thinking of people as coffee beans. Each one so different, yet the purpose is still the same. Some need milk, others need sugar. Some can even be drank bitter. But the core art of coffee drinking is still the same. It's a caffeine boost to the soul of fatigue. Much like ourselves, coming in different types and forms yet our purpose is to find love and be loved. 
So I thought to myself the struggle of a coffee bean in a world filled with lattes and macchiatos, looked at so bitterly and dark. 
The coffee bean being all it ever can.

New world.

In search of a new world, where we don't lose to photographs and movies because we see fantasies we can never live. Where there would be no need to create platforms for illusions where we wait for the train of reality that is sadly, delayed by a few minutes of the drowning present.
No more coffee sips for a morning of mourning for our days were too long and nights too short. No longer are we occupied by the idea of being unique, but we come together in union despite our differences. A world where we don't try to see through the eyes of our neighbours, lovers, friends, a world where we don't let our insecurities get the most of us. Where we give the little we have to the less privileged. Where our blessings are no longer in disguise and no longer required, for we have learnt to be grateful with what we have been given. A world where we strive to be happy rather than successful, to be beautiful rather than pretty. A world where young girls no longer hide behind their false lashes or blushes. A world where love is not difficult to find, where loneliness is no longer known. A world with peace. A world with no weapons.
A world that doesn't exist.
