Smoking Pot

Why?
Is it really because you feel invincible?
I don't understand, is it to get away from the everyday fucked up things that happen in life?
Guess what, when you come down from that high those problems are still going to be there..
Just because you escape for a few hours doesn't solve a damn thing.
Unless you plan on keeping your high by always being on drugs you are just....
Really I don't even know.
I have heard so many lame and common excuses it makes me quite sick actually.
Most of them from "friends,"
Who because of drugs have become barely acquaintances.
Instead of doing drugs to get the feeling of "I can be and do anything,"
Why don't you get an education,
get a clean slate,
better friends who actually care about you
and put the past and negativity behind you.
No one can erase, take back an action or bring back the dead,
BUT
everyone Can turn over a new leaf and become a better person.
No matter what some people would wish to think,
It's never too late to be someone else and something better.
I just wish more people would realize that besides myself.
