Euphoria


“I am he as you are he and we are all together.”

 

Bright Colors

Tidal Waves

A Complete Sense of Euphoria.

 

I myself cannot see

what’s left

in front of me.

 

The World Before

me is a never-ending

Acid Trip.

 

But

Why an

Acid Trip.

 

I Myself

am Not

an Addict

 

But

I like to think of myself

like one.

 

2 years old

witnessing my mother

do unspeakable things.

 

Makes me take

my Imaginary Acid

and fly away.

 

“Cruz in

the sky

with diamonds”

 

Looking Back

I’ve done this

many times.


Left the world

only to arrive

in my trippy paradise.


I would leave

an unaccepting

hell-hole.


I would escape

a crazy abusive

grandmother.


I would run

far, far away

from my troubles.


In my eyes,

worries seem to just

disappear.


The Loud neighbors

are dust

in the wind.


Gun shots

down the block

don’t exist.


And my mother?


My mother’s

addiction

was a treasure.


Growing up

I’ve began to thank

my mother.

 

Leaving this horrible

world for a

sanctuary of happiness.

 

Has taught me

to see the world

in bright colors.

 

And I am he

as you are he

and we are all together.

 

We are all together

in a land of endless

 

Euphoria.
