Some Drugs, Time, And Reality.

You know, I sure do think a lot

I wonder about this world and why

As time passes and we experience

We merely learn how to get high

I've learned how to sit in the cold

And how to politely ask for a smoke

I watch everyone getting older

Now we can finally take a joke

 

Never look an outsider in the eyes

Or anyone for that, just don't care

I am who I perceive they see me as

Hell, just do that without me there

I find we're nothing without faith

A closed door is someone exhausted

The world in its beautiful entirety

Makes life easier to get lost in it

My skin hasn't changed its tone

Yet, I sense wrinkles in my brain

You make it effortless to write

When I can't even stay in my own lane

Being multiple decades is tough

But reality is a lot of pure fantasy 

Now, I could be making this all up

Or you could just dance with me

Most of us seem to deny it

Ill be the one to admit the change

Escape is the word of these years

Stories only require turning the page

I think I understand where the 'Drugs' part of this title came from >.<
I enjoy the pace and tempo and the creative randomness, makes for a very fun read.
Love this line.. But reality is a lot of pure fantasy
I love when I find something I can relate to in a persons work and that line is it for for me for this piece.
Well done indeed :)

This is insightful and smartly written. I love the second to last stanza. Very good.

There are so many thoughts to take from this poem. I do think we get mentally tired long before being physically tired... and the mental takes more out of us... this is do to such a fast paced world we live in... that is why we need to appreciate the little things in life to re-energize us.

This is a really interesting poem, the 5th Stanza's definitely my favourite.
"My skin hasn't changed its tone
Yet, I sense wrinkles in my brain
You make it effortless to write
When I can't even stay in my own lane."
Beautiful!
Very fitting title too
