Astral Travel

By ColorMeToxic


I want to leave  my broken  body
to  fly in the astral plane
the way I used to do
In the days of heroin

I want to look down upon myself
and think about my life
I want to visit foreign lands
maybe once or twice

I want an absolute  freedom
from my ball and chain*
maybe that kind of freedom
could  take away my pain

even though my astral travel 
would only  happen while I snooze
It's everything to gain
and nothing left to lose

I will have to learn to fly
without my drug of choice
I layed it down long ago
can't use it anymore

my spiritual body wants to journey 
away from my physical one
too bad I haven't done it
since the days of heroin.

    Interesting read. I've had a hard time along the way, when phases come to an end, where I have a hard time remembering what made me content before that phase. Can definitely relate in my own way. Thanks for sharing, hope you find your wings.
