once in the back of a car
i asked what it felt
to be in a haze

they looked at me,
laughed, and said
"you're already there"

once behind a tree
i discovered what people meant
when they do drugs
and don't remember
what happens the next day

i discovered what it means
to be carefree
and not care for the consequences

once i snuck into a house
and discovered what happens
when you aren't quiet enough

once in the middle of the night
i found out what it meant
when people do ***** things
with people they barely know

once in the middle of a field
i found out what people meant
by taking 'bad trips'

once i found out
that i would do it all again
