Whoosh

First time I took cocaine

Was the last

Started like a funfair ride

Hurling me through a vortex

I was high on life

With no brakes

Dancers surrounded me

And strangers talked slow to me

My conversations raced around the room

Looking for a better adventure

Laughing, smiling and hyper happy

I speed read my mind in between the deluge

Of unearthed knowledge that I had to share

With my imagined audience

I was a king on a throne

My subjects worshipped my words

I woke up alone thinking that last night

I went temporarily insane

It was the last time I took cocaine
