Unreal Reality

Sitting in the car,
Watching, sitting, staring,
Staring at you
And that thick smoky cloud

With each hit you take,
Those noxious fumes,
They’re taking you from me
With each exhale,
Those toxic particles,
They’re taking me with you

With each hit you take,
You’re dying from the inside
All for that selfish relaxation
Until the black spot arrives

That black spot that only doctors will see,
It’s the proof you’ve been in denial of,
For so many years

With each slow drag,
And each long exhale
Those fumes you are breathing
Are killing us all

Killing us slowly,
But surely too
You may not realize it,
Until it’s too late

Those envious fumes,
They want you for themselves
But I’m in the proximity,
They’ll take me as well

I’ve got dreams,
I’ve got aspirations
But they’re being suffocated
Before they become real

I’ve done so much,
As much as I can
It’s up to you
I hope you get the hint

I want to be an athlete,
Maybe a singer too
These dreams I have,
Are shrouded by a smoky haze

Sitting in that car,
Watching, sitting, staring
Staring at you
And witnessing my dreams as they vanish
Forever

This is frighteningly familiar to me. Great thoughts here.
