Instant Regret
—just add water and poor decisions
It started fast—just heat and dust,
No thought, no craft, no time to trust.
You stirred it in, you took the sip,
A shortcut with a paper clip.
It burned your tongue, then numbed your will,
A silence caffeinated still.
You didn’t care. You had no time,
The clock was loud, the grind a crime.
And so you drank what barely passed,
A mug of choices made too fast.
It did the job, but left a mark,
A bitterness that bites the dark.
Next time, you’ll brew it slow and right.
You won’t. But isn’t that polite?
📜 Instant Regret – The Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 tsp Instant Coffee Crystals (whatever brand you wouldn’t post about)
- 6 oz Hot Water (not boiling—like your standards)
- 1 packet Sugar Substitute (saccharine, like your excuses)
- Optional: Powdered Creamer (chalky nostalgia in beige form)
- Garnish: None. This isn’t garnish territory. This is damage control.
Instructions:
Scoop, stir, swallow. Don’t ask questions. Don’t taste too long. Serve in a chipped novelty mug that says “World’s Okayest Decision-Maker.” Drink alone, surrounded by to-do lists and the hum of fluorescent doom.
