To me, this poem says that getting high is a mask, a mask we wear to cover up what we don't like or what hurts us about ourselves. A lot of people have this empty hole of pain and loneliness, they try to fill it in so many ways, abusing a behavior, a drug, a person. Your poem says a lot and it says more between the lines. Nice job, L&T

Very honestly written poem and honesty is a fine quality. Our first impulse is always to avoid pain, that is a natural response. Yet true growth of the human spirit requires that we sometimes allow ourselves to experience that pain, learn from it, and through endurance emerge even stronger. Thank you for your poem.
