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
