Poem -
Zoned Out
High on life
I've never needed drugs
for my eyes to glaze over
and my mind to wander
I've never needed trips
to get into a trance
nor a glass of red
to hit the disco floor
and dance
I've never needed a beer
to start up conversation
I cannot understand
why the frustration
No need for me to pop a pill
to just kick back and chill
If this isn't trendy
that doesn't phase me
If it isn't cool
then I'll stay hot
If I'm not normal
that be fine
Y'all can keep your meth and pot
I refuse to inject or snort a hit
when I honestly truly
don't need it
to have a good time

If only everybody were so well balanced but unfortunately life events such as child abuse, domestic abuse, homelessness and untreated mental health play a big part in addiction...nice write ?
I know. It was more an attack on peer pressure contexts. As for your list, I have experienced abuse as a child, DV, hunger, homelessness, depression the works... still didn't turn to addictions (although I tried stuff). I value freedom more than anything and people trying to force me into their own captivity after I've already suffered enough are the last kind of "friends" I need in my life. (which was more to the point)
