I’m rolled
Cannabis
& I’m a scandal
I’m always in
your dark room
Getting lit up
to get the groove.
I put you in a good
mood
But I make you
go out of the moon
When you’re in
pain
I work just like
a maid- simile
When you need to
spark
Bark at your
dealer
Buy me by the
gram
Or buy me by the
pound.
That boy always bought
me
I was his best
friend
And his partner
in crime.
Every morning he
lit me up
He took a hit,Puff puff ,
then he’d say “sup?”
then he’d say “sup?”
With his eyes
all red and puffy
He began to get
tough.
And he couldn’t
quit.
He got to attached
That he became detached from the world.
His mood began
to change
He started
acting strange.
I didn’t
recognize that I could put him in such a mood
That would make
him eat snack food.
It makes you
feel like you’re in heaven
But deep down
you’re putting yourself through hell.
I promise I
won’t kill you
I’ll just make
you have respiratory issues
He knew his system
wasn’t working right
Continuous days
with the same routine.
He started
growing a bean.
A bean with many
issues
That could make
him use tissues.
He was running
out of breath
It was like
slowing turning to death
His lungs were
slowly closing
It was disposing
air.
His lungs were
all black
And they were
full of cracks.
He was hoping to
get some help
But his lungs
were no good.
He regrets using me
I now have him
in an ambulance.
He’s taking his
last breath...
Cough cough
That boy takes
it all back,
Now he's going 6
feet underground
Now he's belowground.
I enjoyed how you wrote your poem in the perspective of cannabis. It was excellent of how you used the boy to show what cannabis can do to you and the addiction that can be gained from it. Your word choices were very interesting and made me want to keep reading and hearing more whenever you presented in class. Great use of imagery, because I was able to picture everything that was going on in my mind. How many people in the United States use cannabis for medical treatment?
