Pills

It’s time to be real, time to face facts We all love a drug, we all have our pills We all choose addictions to soothe our ills Trying to forfeit the pain life exacts Things that we grasp only briefly distract Behaviors we love that cannot fulfill Popping bad habits instead of real pills Making wrong choices, spurning their impact Devices, entities, actions, can **** All of creation mayhap abused No matter your choice, regardless of thrill We conceive our own monsters By our own selves we are used Pills only widen life’s fissures
