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
