The Drug

I wrote this inspired by the memoir called Go Ask Alice. Even though drugs are bad, she inspired me to write about what good it did to her. :)

I feel so high in the clouds
everyone around me laughing around,
but I'm in another world
and is incredible,
it feels three-dimensional.
I inhale it, I taste it, is inside me all,
the ecstasy is making my mind numb
and yet, my imagination strong
and I can't stop.
The feeling it gives me
is a dangerous joy,
a catastrophe inside my body
that feels so marvelous.
Is dazzling inside my veins,
raising the rush in my blood,
is electrifying my heart
and I hear echoes in my voice,
screaming that I feel on top of the world,
then all of the sudden, the feeling is gone
and I go back to my
ordinary average world.

Drugs are what people who are not poets resort to to try and feel those ... those ... those moments of ecstasy when a poem reveals itself to be. Alas there can only be one poet every few decades or so. Was it Dylan or was it Hendrix? All the rest of humanity are left with ... the O.A.W. There is no point to such existances. Yet those who are poets ... die too early. Which means it was Hendrix.

This reminds me of Pink's song, "Sober"
"I'm safe, up high, nothing can touch me. But how do I feel this good sober?"
Fantastic poem, great job! :D

We will always feel pleasure but reality will kick in. Good job in communicating this poem to your readers.

the poem was good and i feel drugs are just a temporary excitement and at the end you need to come back to face reality

I like it, I never read that story, I read a part of it, but I still think this can be like, a good companion to the book (especially since you said it was inspired by it). Good work :3

You have portrayed beautifully the love affair that users have with their 'drug' of choice. Very well written.

Oh yea, you recreate that image very well. The ending changes the imagery like the sound of a record player stopping.
