You’ve come a long way, you’re sure of that,

There used to be days in which the future seemed dim, untrustworthy, unattainable. But new friends guided you, and the music took you, and you saw a way forward.

Why, why now do you feel empty?

That pill, that bitter pill, ahh, it gave you a glimpse of perfection and you knew what to strive for. How could you ever be alone again after that feeling? To be around other people was to be home. Changed forever, you discarded so much chaff from your life. You learned how to love, and be loved.

It was only a glimpse though, a fleeting glimpse.

What convinced you that purchase, ingestion and metabolism of that bitter seed could make carry you forward? It was only a glimpse, like a mirage in the desert. The goal is over the horizon, still over the horizon. You know the path, now you must walk it. Leave the pill behind, its’ purpose is served. Glimpse no more, but behold.
