Nirvana
A nirvana of today is caused by marijuana
Its necessity driven by the hardships of life
A teen’s escape from agony, pressure and strain
Although for some say it may keep them sane, it could also break them
Window pane
Teens deny the potential for shattering
Considered to be the drug with the least amount of battering
The desire to be popular, as strong a drug as any
Acceptance from others make some sell their life as if it were worth naught but a penny
Curiosity killed the cat as they say
The impulse to try something so idolized, may not be able to be kept at bay
The first try is almost never the last
Pandora's box
The evils from within spread quickly
Smallpox
Once… once a year…once a month
From what was just a fun soiree has become a necessity every day
The illusion of self-restraint starts to decay and die away
The drug they once reveled has started to betray
Led astray
A life of successes starts to fade away
Marijuana is like sugar
Milky Way
Effects invisible until damage done
Tooth decay
The conundrum of every teenager; get away or follow the fray
And here I stand at my own crossroad, isn’t it cliche?
I know the horrors that lie beneath
Yet I can still see myself obey and let its high just carry me away
