Marijuana Haze

Have a hit

To start your days

Night time sleep

That’s the way

You are in a marijuana daze

Feeling lost in its haze.

Tried to keep it a secret

For so many years

The professional façade

You kept so dear

But your friends would love you, any way

Despite all your fears.

Until one day

The gig was up

Marijuana had

Overflowed your cup

Forty years of anesthetizing

Renders you

A new born pup.

What to do

To get rid of the head pains

The internal aches

Of refrain

Letting go of an old friend

With mixed disdain.

Anguish fills your hours

Unrelenting doubts

Limit your powers

In disbelief of

how you got here

caught in the groove

of shame and fear.

If only you will guide yourself

On a new kind of road trip

Forgiving and replacing

Old habits you’ve kept

You can transform yourself

And not feel inept.

The truth stands

Right before your resistance

Change is doable and necessary

To transform your existence

Bite the bullet-Let go of the passé

You can go the distance.

Say goodbye to your old sidekick

You counted on so long

He will seduce and beguile

But you know he is so wrong

Gather up that strength from within

And play your victory song.

Let a day go by

and then another

with exercise and positive intentions

for yourself and others

give you the gift of clarity

incrementally and progressively without a shutter.

Do you really believe

This is all about weed

The depression and anxiety

You know are about unresolved need

Yes this is physical

But the emotional is what is making you bleed.

You are divine and brilliant

Filled with humor and light

Explore your spiritual nature

It will nurture you with delight

Be the healer to yourself

You are going to be all right.
