High Dosage

Swallow your pride Take the poison They said it helps So, open wide Bitter pill indeed But it is needed You had to take it No matter how much you pleaded No other choice really It will not let you live freely Without the pill is suffering Without the pill is pain Without the pill is fear Without the pill is despair Your body is whole But broken is your soul When bones are broken A crutch keeps you up When your very being is broken A pill becomes a crutch If it was just taking a pill That equalled calm Pain and suffering would leave There'd be no harm But a higher dose at first is frightful You wait for the day, it'll become delightful
