HITTING A BLANK

GETTING HIGH

It's such fun getting high with the crowd,
getting goofed becoming roudy and loud,
we hit a blank and can't remember a thing,
wandering what happened and who will sing.

A cloud of embarrassment obstructs our view,
we're not too sure which paths to pursue,
we wanted to feel what it's all about,
not knowing it will give us such a clout.

We start becoming hooked on the rush it brings,
convincing ourselves it's only light little stings,
soon we start neglecting our daily chore,
as a graving builds that wants even more.

We venture onto paths so obscure,
becoming defensive and very unsure,
unless it's checked it leads to disaster,
bringing regrets that steal our laughter.
