My veins cry
  I can hear them
  As I close my
  Eyes in pain.
  
  My mind reels with the
  Thought of my
  Next rush
  
  My nerves jitter and
  Jangle as it
  Begins to hit
  
  Like a freight train
  On a rush ride to
  Heaven
  
  And then a
  Short detour
  Into Hell.
  
  I fly with the angels,
  Then come crashing to
  Earth
  
  Reality slams into my
  Face
  
  As the euphoria wears
  Off
  
  And my true world returns
  
  I can't stay here long...
  
  I need to feel the 
  Pleasure
  
  I need to feel the
  Sweet pain
  
  I need to feel so
  Much 
  
  That I stop
  Feeling
  
  My brain is numb
  As I drift along
  This otherworldly
  Plane
  
  Is it a dream?
  
  Or is my real life the
  Dream,
  
  And the high my 
  New reality
  
  A brave new world
  Where my fantasies
  Take form
  
  Where fiction blurs
  With fact
  
  And I cease to
  Exist
  
  Where am I now?
  
  Inside myself,
  Outside myself,
  With or without?
  
  I don't seem to
  Care 
  
  As the needle punctures
  My tender flesh
  
  And the electric
  Buzz rips through
  My mind.
  
  I drift for a while,
  
  Then it ends...
  
  I crash back to Earth,
  
  Take a deep breath
  
  And reach for the
  Potion.
  
  Another ride while
  I'm still alive
  
  The drug surges through
  Me like a live wire
  
  My body trembles as it
  Shoots through me
  
  My mind reels as it begins
  To take hold,
  
  Blackness rushes over me
  Like a velvet
  Curtain
  I try to wake,
  But cannot.
  
  My muscles will not
  Respond,
  
  But my spirit soars.
  
  It flows through the room
  Into the sky,
  
  And then upward...
  
  I realize why I am free
  I know why my body is still
  But my mind flies...
  
  I have died.
