High On Life Poems | Examples


High on Life

High on life
I was high on life
Not walking on water
But soaring above the clouds
Free from the rain
Immune to the darkness
Now I settle in the depths
Gazing up at the warped sunshine
Turbulent waters
Was this where I was before?

High On Life

when skies shine like topaz
and there's blossom on the trees
and a slight breeze
and you're watching some magpies take flight

when the world is so vibrant
and your heart is so light
and just for a moment
you're feeling all right

people might believe
you need alcohol
or drugs
or religion
or to fall 
insanely in love
with somebody

but no other "high" can  match
simply
high on life
in those moments
sweet and brief
pure and innocent
no-one's mind games can 
touch you
no-one has the power
to break or destroy you

you just want to bottle
the feeling
but you can't
and it's so sad
because it won't last 
and you know
it won't last
it can't last


High On Life

Freshman year was a breakout year for me,
I maintained a positive attitude.
This was someone I did not used to be,
Through that year I gained so much gratitude.
Year two was by far the year of heartbreaks,
a lot of my family members had died.
I was so mentally messed up it aches,
When Darion had passed I sat and cried.
Junior year was the best year of my life,
I pulled off the best grades in my career.
Even though it gave me a lot of strife,
I wanted to kick back and sip a beer.
Senior year is coming to an end quick,
Can not wait to laugh and share one last pic.

Can You Really Get High On Life?

I'm tired of them asking ''What is it that you're on? ''
Why can't I just be happy with this life I've stumbled on? 

My brother says that with each day he sees me it is worse.
He says he thinks my happiness is sorta like a curse.

He says he fears I'm losing touch with harsh reality.
I don't see what the problem is to live your life carefree.

So what if I start laughing when I hear a funny word? 
Who cares if I can sit for hours to see a hummingbird? 

He says ''Life isn't like that, it's ugly and it hurts.''
Yet, when this trouble looks at me, my soul's eye just averts.

I see the pain and heartache, I hear the hollow moan.
No one feels it more than me and sure, I've felt alone.

I just don't choose to dwell there, in sadness and in fear.
I have to see the good in things so I can persevere.
