Take Me To Nirvana

Dwelling in dysfunctional places
 Where happines is a bridge too far
 Stress is etched on many faces
 Suffering from emotional scars

 Drugs take many on a euphoric trip
 But when they crash, their emotions slip
 Leaving them yearning for another high
 That feel good feeling that money can buy

 How do we achieve happiness
 Without mind altering substances
 Can we get that feeling of bliss
 Or are we doomed to suffering's abyss

 Nirvana is what so many seek
 To escape a world so bleak
 Take me to Nirvana!
 Let me reach that blissful peak!

Brandy Nicole Date: 9/5/2022 5:21:00 PM Being with those we love, embracing words of poetry, that's where happiness is found. Seeking joy through drugs, is the wrong way. This is deep and powerful, and so beautifully written. My best to you. Hugs, Brandy Login to Reply Joseph May Date: 9/9/2022 6:11:00 AM The culture glorifies drug use sometimes, Thank you Brandy
