Self Medicating

I could mask my pain by
pretending it’s not there.
Self medicating could be
soothing if I didn’t care.
Masking the pain would
only bring a temporary fix.
When it faded that pain
would only resurface
with even more that sticks.

An easy way out it
might turn out to be.
Reality might then seem
playable but only temporarily.
When the mask fades
the truth will be
there waiting to reappear.
Grabbing hold of everything
that you once held dear.
Bringing about even more
problems to play in the end.

This is not the answer to
help your problems mend.
Reality can be down right depressing.
False reality will only lead
you to more second guessing.
Hit the problem hard
on to stop them dead in their tracks.
Do this first before more pain 
and agony have the time to stack.

Ignoring the truth 
even for a short time 
will prove the wrong way.
For it is then that a false security
will then quickly be portrayed.
Once a false sense
is accepted by it’s host,
Ones true self then starts
to become nothing more than a ghost
