I just want to laugh again, I i just want to smile again for something other then a family photo. This is my crutch, this is how i cope.. This is how i tell my self that there is still hope, My obi-wan-kanobi, the only one who knows me. I don't know if your my savior but do believe your close, you keep me laughing, you keep me off a rope. mother why can't you see that this is so much more then dope. It leaves a sour taste now because I know you don't approve, there is so much worse things that i could use and abuse, Don't you remember my friend Dillon? Don't you remember the news? I knew he was getting into bad ****but i just ignored the clues.. fck, i don't want to think about that.... F*CK! I DON'T WANT TO THINK ABOUT THAT! Maybe if i smoke this it will somehow bring him back..

And, Lord, as a Star Wars fanatic/geek, I adored your Obi-Wan reference. You definitely get extra points from me just for that lol. But, as a whole, your piece needs some polishing up here and there. Try playing around with your wording structure. I liked this piece though, very much so
