Clear Headed

I didn't realize 
how lazy I had become!
The marijuana smoke
blowing my mind, 
like a loaded gun!!
Slept most the day,
mood swings for a hit, 
kept close friends away.
Today I am clean
nothing stands in my way!!!

Ready to take the world by storm
I am normal now,
clear headed and back to form...
Dead end jobs and low wages cripple
I'm a family man now,
stifled it's simple!!!
