No More Higher

On that day he took several oxys 
It may have been a suicide attempt
But he says he needed his fix
Numbers of the pills had increased to quench. ..

He remembers looking down on his body
He ( his spirit self) was a few feet higher from the body
There was a string attached to both beings
And the string was getting tighter and thinner as his spirit self moved higher
He needed to go back to his body
He had to make sure the string didn't break
He had to fight for his life
He had no choice 
No more higher 
This scare,
Whether it was a hallucination from the drugs
Or a reality of his fate 
Made him turn his life around
