Substances, controlled

Control freak

You call me things

I already identify with

I know who I am

Yet you seem to think I need

A light shining directly on me

Like a spotlight

During an interrogation

When you should shine that spotlight

Directly back on you

When things don’t go your way

What do you do honey?

Turning to addictions

That help numb your pains

That help keep sorrows at bay

That help you not actually feel and deal

With what you have to

The matters at hand.

Sleeping, food, drugs, space.

I don’t deny my vices

I don’t deny I have a problem

But the problem is you do

Deny your problems

You deny your vices

And shine the light brightest

On everyone but yourself
