Scaled that mountain at last?
Seen her floating from atop,
Floating down way too fast.....

The idea in the quote is really good; put lots of thoughts into my head. Unfortunately I couldn't do much with 20 words. Should probably write a full poem based on this....

Sketch as it may be, the image I get is of a user; the need for the drugs, the high, and then the crash.

Love the imagery in this piece, where she seems so hopeful at first, and then realization hits, and she crumbles. I know firsthand how that feels. Well done.
