"Distance is just an obstacle. Everything that is true, climbs the summit. Touches the sun and comes back down." -Destiny


To try a drug…
Temptation boils beneath my skin…
To know its in my sight, but out of reach…
To forget about judging "friends"…
To forget about your love lacking parents…
To forget about the requirements of being me…
And to climb higher and higher…
Soar above the clouds, above the stars and above the galaxies…
Zoom by the milky way…
Pass by the burning sun…
Shooting balls through it's atmosphere…
Passing the planets one by one…
Every shinning star, burning brightly in my eyes…
The light from each one, tickles my skin…
Still i go higher and higher…
Possibly higher than anyone can possibly reach…
My destination is freedom…
I brush it's peak…
I begin to fall…
Plummeting back to our atmosphere…
In the distance earth awaits…
I'm falling to fast…
Star flash by…
Planets zoom by…
Balls of fire blast from the sun…
I hit the atmosphere…
Past the clouds of white…
Sleep takes over…
Just as I crash...


The author's comments:
My inspiration for this piece came from the book crank written by Ellen Hopkins. It shows how amazing drugs can be but the consequences appear at the very end. Yes they can take you higher than you've ever gone before but they will also take you lower than you've ever gone before.
