The Next Great Hit

I look into the mirror
wondering who it is I see.
It looks like me,
but so much older.
But not much wiser.
Its funny how the little
decisions we make
change our life so drastically.
What if I had settled down
found the love of my life?
What if I hadn't snorted my
twenties away?
Can I have kids?
So scared of committment and
responsibility.
And look where its left me.
Smoking another bowl,
chasing another girl.
Waking up not knowing what
I did the night before.
The bitter smell of Tequila hanging
in my nose.
Head buzzing from the last hit.
When does it end?
When do I know there is more
to live for,
more than the next great hit.
