my anxiety had consumed me
i was looking for an out
my friends said you were the key
that, i didn't doubt
i was worried it could be risky
but my friends said it was time
said you worked better than whiskey
and you're taste was sublime
my friends all tried to claim
my troubles would be gone
soon like a moth to a flame
to you i was drawn
my confidence was frail
but my willingness had shifted
and with one deep inhale
my troubles were lifted
i was laughing and happy
and it all felt so great
my life had been really ******
you took away the pain, fear, and hate
why are you illegal
when you bless us so
you give us a feeling so regal
and let our smiles show
you remove all of our pain and hurt
to let us be happy for an hour
you pick our self esteems up out of the dirt
and let us appreciate the beauty in a flower
you allow us to appreciate
sight, smell, sound, touch and taste
as our lives depreciate
and more troubles are faced
our meeting was fateful
you let me be a happier me
i am forever grateful
for how you set me free
