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! 9-4-2022

So many...fall into what they think is the road to happiness. (Myself, included at one point of my life). Nicely written, Joseph. Have a great weekend. Charlie

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

Excellent depiction of drug taking. Many will never learn that it's a killer.
