chasing the dragon

inhaling the smoke breath after breath
breathing deeper, harder, longer
each breath a silent prayer
every exhale a bargain

green for green how it always goes
some places its legal, not for me
each buy a risk i willingly take
every hit a chance at normality

most call it an addiction unknowningly
they dont see the mental illness
the bipolar it keeps "normal"
every hit a dose in grey

most hate what they cant have
but i dont give a fuck
could be the weed
most likely me

in, out, in, out, in, out
remember that its life
load another bowl
and say fuck it all
