A BLUNT TO BLUNT THE PAIN
<center>*I smoked a blunt today, 
At the party, 
with the cool kids.
They laughed with me
And called me their friend
Then they laughed at me
When i fell, too high to see. 
I got home late 
And called my father names. 
I made my mother cry
And passed out, my head on the toilet seat.*</center>

<center>*I smoked a blunt today 
And wrote a poem. 
It was a love poem, 
Then it became angry and devolved 
Into an essay on loneliness. 
I had the munchies and ate peanuts 
Then I fought my sister.
I misplaced my term papers, 
Called my class teacher a slut 
And got suspended for the term. 
My poem caught an eye
And I became a star.*</center> 

<center>*I smoked a blunt today 
And jumped off a bridge,
landed in a bottle of whiskey.
I drowned myself in liquor 
Before the pressure could  kill me. 
I smoked more blunts, 
Then I drank some and chewed on some. 
I got too high, I flew close to the sun.
My wings got burnt and now I'm here 
Listening to you complain 
About the redness of my eyes 
And the stale sweat hanging in 
The atmosphere of my room.*</center> 

<center>*I smoked a blunt today 
But it is not really it, is it? 
It is not the pain that hides behind the smile 
or the smile that hides behind the tiredness. 
It is not even a poem or a song,
It is just weed, you know 
But it doesn't really heal the hurt now, does it?
I dragged and dragged that blunt
But I'm still here, still rocking 
On my knees, before my bed, 
Crying tears that I never knew I had.*</center>
