Caffeine High

Caffeine is beneficial to the mind
Taken in doses of a human size.
When you increase your intake, though, you find
There is a twitching lodged behind your eyes,
A little tap that runs down from your thighs
Into your feet - a rhythm you can't lose - 
A tremor by your heart that seems to rise,
And everything's a little stranger. Choose
To drop the caffeine then, though, and refuse
Your body what it wants, and there's a price.
The fool who first indulges, then eschews,
Will feel the absence of what once was nice
In headaches, joint pain, and the worst mind lag
It's sometimes better to keep on the jag.
