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
