I made a mistake today
One that I'll remember
I didn't realize until it was too late
What do you expect

I'm not perfect
I never have been
I never will be
That's totally fine by me

See even though I made a mistake
It truly didn't feel that way
Even though I missed that crucial dose
It made me feel better

It's crazy isn't it
You would think
Medicine regulates you
Sure, but at what cost

See even though I didn't take it today
A bad patient and person one could say
I was able to actually live and do it my way
My life didn't revolve around my dose

Usually I overthink it
Check that I've taken the pills
It's always on my mind
Never ending

But today
I finally let go
The back of my mind
Was free and calm

So although I'll pay tomorrow
I'm okay with that
Because at the end of today
I actually felt normal

Not like a bot taking drugs
Or an addict popping pills
I felt like it was my choice
I love how that feels
