"hearts racing a mile a minute
shouldn't have taken that pill
she has a twin?
nah..thats just my blurred vision"

Thats just a small bit of a "poem" i wrote a few years back after a bad trip experience. Drugs played a huge role in my life back in high school. I abused everything you can think of. Pills, Weed, Alcohal, Cough Syrup you name it, i did it. I used to take Acid hits, LSD hits and shroomed during shroom season. I guess you coulda called me a stoner. It was bad, and it got to the point where i really didn't wanna get high anymore, but i had to take the drugs to function. Crazy what off the wall madness would come into my head at these times. These drugs actually opened my eyes to a million different things. I learned to love life and appreciate the smaller things in life. I did these drugs with kids who didn't come up with silver spoons in their mouths. Kids who pretty much raised themselves. These guys and girls all helped me appreciate things i took for granted. As much as drugs tore apart my life, they also opened me up to a new way of thinking.. a way i still think today. "Keep your mind open, along with a notebook" I'll never forget when my boy Kaleb said those words to me. Inspired me to write everyday. I'll never forget that kid, he passed on about 8 months ago.. while sober, he was shot and killed by his ex when he threw away her drugs. I'll keep that quote in my mind forever, it's still an inspiration to me to this day.
