I inhale deeply

Feeling the cannabis hit my system

I close my eyes

Then open them

And I stare up at the sky 

And exhale 

The smoke pouring from my lips 

Like a foggy waterfall

I feel relief

But with the relief 

Comes guilt

Panic

Worry

I'm scared

Scared of my ddiction 

Scared of geeting caught

And I'm mad

Mad at myself 

For giving in to the urge 

For letting my friends down

For letting my family down

And I feel like a failure once again
