You're my sweet charade

Try to scream and shout.
Everchanging flights of ideas,
My life is surely
Flashing right before my eyes.
You have a way. You startle me.
I laugh. I face reality.
This is a pill of strong will
And, as you intended,
So hard to swallow.

choking on the truth
i thought it was my candy,
but i'm choking on the truth.
