Why High?

This Is Why

By Michele HastingsPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Get high to drown out all your lows.

Get uppers to make up for all the downs.

Get downers when you're too manic to sleep.

Get high... high just to feel something.

A pill to swallow to take on the day.

Later, a drink goes down to wash that day away.

Smoke fills the lungs of those trying to escape.

Escape the day, Escape the pain.

Escape feelings, Escape desires.

Escape regrets, Escape admires.

Get high to forget.

To move on.

To get up.

To sleep.

To live.
