The Devil and Me 3

8 weeks gone by, a lot has changed,
but one thing hasn't, my anger remains.

I have control, well I think I do,
not lashing out, the way I use too.

Life's not so confusing, I have a little clarity now,
I still have my little moments, when no one is around.

As each day passes, a little easier it becomes,
to deal with normality, without prescription medicine.

6 1/2 years, I shoved that rubbish down my throat,
they said it would help me and it wasn't addictive , now that was the joke

For whom I came, I never wanted to be.
the devil and me, I have survived round 3.
