Control

Take this bitter pill
Tell yourself you want it
Swallow or choke, but don’t ever spit
Dissolves on the tongue so slowly

Grit between your teeth
Sandpaper in your throat
Can’t focus and can’t perform
Lost in the battle of everything

Sometimes, truth is false
You think you know, but you don’t
Time reveals all of your naivety
Until the innocence fades at last

Might as well swallow the pill

Tell yourself it’s your choice
That you have control over yourself
No need to admit your helplessness
