Medicate Me, My Love

This tangled web we must weave,
Runs around between these days,
A permanent shelter to the lies we’ll believe,
Destroying passages built along the way.
Reinforcement of dreams drag beyond this life,
Naïvely brainwashed as we’ve slept to cleanse these filthy minds,
Foretold of futures written in an afterlife,
Expectations to hold our faith alone among the blind.
Presenting a pill for every problem,
Opened up and shoved down our throats,
Fresh desires contain new ways to fully medicate them,
Monitor every moment to take down careful notes.
Living proof exists within partially healed scars,
Reminders- long lost found deep inside our minds,
Reminding us of what little was left unharmed,
Well being burned to uncover memories we’ve been unable to find.
These now broken chains attach onto our halfway swallowed pride,
A realization of possible escape being near all along,
Fake a smile- divulge a secret locked away in hearts confined,
Provisions of false deceit discovered are now long gone.
