Torn Between These Lives

My life, my life
Ruined, ripped, and torn
I want to get back to where I was
Fragile life, I mourn
My well of dreams after high school
Was so deep to choose from
My many goals I had in mind
Now seem to make me numb
I cannot think, I cannot sleep
I'm tired, eyes are closing
And still, I need to wake up
And get in a state of knowing
I did not mean to fail at life
What brought on hesitation?
I did not ever mean to falter
At my path of destination
It is the worst thing I have done
This mess I've left behind
That life so full of hopes and dreams
A life that once was mine
I used to know right where to turn
The paths in life were clear
The knowledge of what I have done
It burns, it stings and sears
My love, my love is pot
It's all that matters now
It was not meant to be that way
How did I get here? How?
My days are spent
Living in this haze
My night's spent getting high
Too many mistakes, I'm gonna pay
The truth is scary
Yes, indeed
And I'm torn between
These lives I lead
My life, my life
I love every day
And I would never have it
Any other way
I could care less about anything
No worries for me
I love getting high
It's the way to be
Floating around in this endless dream
I hope I never have to wake up
So reality never has to seem
The way it really is
I love that little feeling
Of being lifted in the air
Being carefree and weightless
This vibe I get is rare
I never believed the saying
"Ignorance is bliss"
Now I know what it means
It's just another thing I missed
I really could care less though
I'm having too much fun
Pot is right here, so
I'm all set for life
There is always that one chance
That I'll somehow screw things up
Since I live this life within a trance
My goals may go down the drain
So although I love the feeling
Of this perfect little drug
I can't describe the fear I get
When I realize the grave I have dug
The truth is oh so scary
So which life do I pick?
Which one would I like the best?
In which life do I fit?

that was a great way to put your feeling into words, and i just realized i used the line "ignorance is bliss" in one of my poems too, saying that it's so much better to just forget than have to deal with things. i hope you pick the right life for you to lead, and good luck.

| You poem is very well written and profound. I have heard countless times that pot is not additive and doesn't really affect one's life like the "hard" drugs. But you know that is absolutely not true. You are at a crossroad in your life. I believe that some sort of intervention from friends or parents would be very helpful but ultimately it is up to you to make the choice. You are obvioulsy a good writer with potential for anything in life. Make the right choice!!!! |
