Encapsulated Failure

I hope I’m different
Just a little different
In the morning

What a perfect day
I feel like such a sham

Pills change things
Pills change the body, change the signals
Not always for the better

Let me bury myself
With a great big smile 

Let’s end this day
Let’s start over
I’ll sleep tonight
Once again hoping to be different
Hoping to be someone else
If I wake

Let me bury myself
If just for a little while 

Futile

In the morning
Despite everything
I’m still me
