Cafes of Berlin

Cafes of Berlin By Delaney Keiper These four walls blank and boring - keep me in Like a test rat, taught through shock and pain I am safe within my helplessness "You don't deserve it" the voices say. I put this pain on myself. Here is where I stay in and drown my sorrows in Gin - instead of drinking coffee in the Cafes of Berlin. That's where all my happy friends are They don't stick around here no more, in these dark, dusty bars I watch them all around me- sailing in the wind I can't put one foot in front of the other so I stay put and fake a grin. I'm stuck longing to complete tasks that I never will begin Instead of drinking coffee with my friends in the Cafes of Berlin.
