You Want To Know Why I Get High! Poem by Mz.Honesty Only

You Want To Know Why I Get High!

Rating: 5.0


You want to know why I get high....
Sometime it feel like I want to die...
Now this might sound insane...
Sometime it takes away the pain...
When I sit back and begin to drink...
For some odd reason I begin to think...
This is something I choose not to do...
I'll leave that part up to you....
Now to get high is something I need....
I like to sit back and smoke some weed...
No pain, No thoughts, you be in space....
I love the feeling of that place..
So this is why I get high....
To feel no pain I can not lie.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

To me, this poem says that getting high is a mask, a mask we wear to cover up what we don't like or what hurts us about ourselves. A lot of people have this empty hole of pain and loneliness, they try to fill it in so many ways, abusing a behavior, a drug, a person. Your poem says a lot and it says more between the lines. Nice job, L&T

Very honestly written poem and honesty is a fine quality. Our first impulse is always to avoid pain, that is a natural response. Yet true growth of the human spirit requires that we sometimes allow ourselves to experience that pain, learn from it, and through endurance emerge even stronger. Thank you for your poem.
