The Bitter Pill

An Inspirational and Uplifting Poem EVERY DAY from Simon J. Halliday!

The Bitter Pill

Disregard me if you will

For I am quite a bitter pill

But if you're brave enough to eat

You'll find you've had more than your fill

I don't taste sweet, I don't bring cheer

I'm not fine wine or premium beer

I hide in shadows with watchful eyes

Then come to light, provoking fear

But please don't get me wrong, dear friend

My sights are not foreseeing your end

Intent on helping every day

I only have advice to lend

So listen with calm and open heart

The taste seems ill and terribly tart

Yet only truth is what you'll get

So swallow the pill, and life can start

Trust may be a bitter pill indeed but not for the true seeker.
