Stay high
for one more smile
one more hug
one last kiss
stay high
to be quiet
and sweet
to keep happy
ignoring the pain
the tears
the despair
stay high
to escape the rage
the closed fist
and smashed glass
stay high
to hold that
glimmering spark so close
that tiny hope
that perfect Angel
stay high
to remember the good
not the bad
not the ugly
stay high
to protect the innoccent
stay high
to lose feeling
roll with the punches
guard her secret gold
let go
move on
clean up the mess
stay high
stay happy
so she can stay gold.

First poem I wrote in IOP, dont you stupid people understand it was the only thing keeping me from remembering, keeping me alive, keeping the pain away, the bruises from showing... screw you and your sobriety

You have more strength than you know you just can't seem to find it..I know I have seen it first hand...you are as beautiful you are strong!!

Perhaps...or maybe, just maybe, they know you are stronger than you think you are. They know that you are escaping your troubles to your place on high and that the problems you left below you will just fester and lie in wait for your eventual fall to earth once more. I have never heard of a case where getting high (drugs, pot or alcohol) solved a problem for that person. That said, glad I got the chance to read this. Good to see you writing!
