Let's Get High , by Nora Eason Subscribe to rss feed for Nora Eason

       My body numb,My mind was blank,
        the drugs I smoked,they smelled so rank.
       This world of mine,had reached an end,
        the drugs I did,were my best friend.

       Then Jesus said,"Give me a try,
        come walk with Me,and let's get high."
       But the only high I'd ever known,
        was artifical,just on loan.

      "It's just a lie,the proof you'll see,
        throw down those drugs,get high on Me."
      "The drugs you do,they make you blind,
        you search for answers,you'll never find,"

      "For surely with the drugs you use,
        your life will cease,and you will lose."
      "The high you need,you cannot buy,
        partake of me, and you'll never die!"

       I made a move that darkened day,
        to give up drugs, to stay away.
       The inner peace,for which I'd looked,
        I found in Christ,and I was hooked!

       The drugs we take,they can not please us,
       if you want life, get high on Jesus!

I think you have a really great way with words, but you resort to cliche much too easily. Even if you really do get "high" on Jesus, i think there's probably a much better and more emotional way to explain that devotion. What i'm trying to say is that, you're a good poet but you should try to find a more original way of saying what you're saying so it's more personal. Good job though.
