A way of escaping a reality that seems unbearable.

She’s spent her life crying on the floor

Hour after hour and day after day

When she gets stoned

She won’t feel so alone

All the pain and depression just goes away

All the fights with her mom

She needs an escape

The torment going on

Bears down day after day

When she gets stoned

She won’t feel so alone

She’ll finally fall far away

And when she goes home

She’ll still be alone

And the scars on her wrist

Will call to her again

But when she gets stoned

She won’t feel alone

It’s her new escape

From the life she lives today

    The life she lives today will end too soon.

    dreaming darkly beautiful again but careful; dont let the demons drag you down….

    I wish I could get stoned and just forget everything for a while…This is surely another great poem from such a great Poet : ))
