Poison

Help me survive the day.
So many players pulling my strings,
So many mountains to climb.
Swallow the poison to survive the day.
The taste is a fleeting spark.
As evening brings truth,
There wasn't enough time,
There wasn't enough of me to go around.
Now please......
Help me survive the night.
So many thoughts of guilt,
So many charges left unsatisfied.
Swallow the poison to survive the night.
The taste has left me undone.
As the cycle is too much to bare,
Subdue my thoughts for a few hours
Tranquility is left untouched,
But the poison lures the possibility.
