Don't slow down (Free Verse)

Stop thinking about it.

Get lost in your thoughts

As you pedal down that empty parking lot

On a ten speed you stole from a front yard.

Let the darkness engulf your vanity,

Like a cloak, hiding you from your insanity.

If your thoughts roam the wrong way,

Just take another hit and let your problems fade.

Never let your mind catch up with you.

Don't let sanity grab you by the throat

And ask where the hell you've been.

Something's wrong with you.

You're broken.

All you do is toke and smoke your lungs into a burning pleasure,

You treat your weed like a treasure,

Never to be shared or discovered.

Forget it.

Pop another pill,

Smoke another cigarette,

Take another shot,

Roll another blunt,

And by any means necessary,

Don't let sanity

Grab you by the throat.
