@A Poetry High@

i get a high off the words

off of the phrases and lines

i take it intravenously

it messes with my mind

fills my head with thoughts

that i never thought i'd think

i'm getting closer now

to taking another drink

it's like an addiction

that i could never quit

something that holds me up

as i take another hit

it's like acid

it's soaking through my skin

i have to confess

this is as high as i've ever been

it's gotten into my bloodstream

seeped into my veins

i'm no longer in control

i no longer have the reins

as I rise up,

the words flow more easily,

it seems to me

I've gotten high off poetry

I enjoyed this one, it's awesome. Well done. It's a much better form of "high"ness.:)
