DOSE OF TRUTH

When the need for comfort
You desire to embrace you
Take a little dose
Of what I prescribe
Nurse yourself
Tell yourself it’s
What I intend for it to be
A little dose of truth
If the label states so
The therapeutic feels so

It is only a prescription

Reassure the freedom
And validity you give yourself
Will be conflicting
When the doses of truth
Interact with internal un-willing-mess
“How you gonna win, if you ain’t right within?”
The diagnosis: alter ego’s got the best of you
While you fight to keep
YOU sane
Unnoticed, your alter ego goes
Got you actin’ out who you wish you really were
Avoiding any realization
Conniving-ness chewing
Away the doses

It is only a prescription

With wingless words you give flight
To prostitute those in search of emotional gains
Who so kindly fall gentle
In your "I'm a better person" mockery
I can imagine why you'd get so confused
In the massive array of ideas you profess to be
Hurting any and every in the process
Dragging all to believe
The doses nourish
REAL change
When they only masquerade a deceiving aura
Go on desperately yearning for validation
O.D. on the doses of truth

It is only a prescriptive value

I resist the notion of playin’ therapist
Aiding to help make your vision
Of becoming a better being, knowingly heavily
It is as lightly said as, “It is what it is”
Doses consumed in vain
The progress of REALNESS
Never sustains cleverly construed claims
Behold the side effects, my love

It is only a prescriptive value

You cling to

For a

TRUTH

You ill to

BE.
