Cloud 9

i thought i was on cloud nine
until my cloud started raining
i realized i was really still down to earth

i should have been higher up by now
but the IV is higher than me
my OD brought me to the lowest i could go
and i am slowly sinking six feet under...

dedicated to Jacks you will be missed my friend

There are day when we are moving along with grace then suddenly, things change. Well we all encounter those; however, we have the resiliency of getting up, shaking out the dust, and getting back into the race. Great job! ~Joseph
