I love a good hot matcha tea
It's always been an essential in my morning routine
But somewhere in between:
4am, 6am, and 9am feeds
Trying to keep the house clean
Taking a shower for the first time in a week
Laundry piled up to my knees--
Trying to manage my anxiety
I've gone less and less without that hot matcha tea
I still make it the same
Wake up in the illusion that I'll ease into my day
But somewhere in between:
Her smile waking up to eat
Saying "mama" and reaching for me
Her sleeping on my chest, deep in a dream
When we've done nothing and it's almost three--
My anxiety doesn't exist in moments like these
Now I love a good cold matcha tea
I wouldn't change a thing about my morning routine
