Shortcuts


In trying times, the magic potion is mesmeric

Though its eventual consequences are barbaric

Difficult to stay away from the easy way out

Those crutches have an ability to silently shout


To call out, to tempt like the evil sirens of the sea

Singing that without them I am less than I can be

I apologize to my body for believing the lies

I apologize to my mind for crafting its demise


An attempt shall be made to give up this ghost

To demons, my body shall no longer be a host

I embark on this unstimulated, silent, boring path

Hoping to succeed and escape my body's wrath
