The Best Drug

 In a world where shadows often loom,

And paths are lined with tales of gloom,

A whisper calls, so soft and bright,

Guiding hearts towards the light.

 

Some seek solace in fleeting highs,

In drugs, pills, and empty lies,

But true peace lies not in these,

But in life’s calm and quiet seas.

 

The laughter shared with dearest friends,

The love that never, ever ends,

The morning sun, the evening stars,

The strength found in our deepest scars.

 

Each heartbeat is a melody,

A chance to live, to truly see,

The beauty in the world around,

In every sight and every sound.

 

Cast away those darkened chains,

And wipe away the saddest stains,

For life itself is wondrous, grand,

A precious gift in your own hands.

 

Enjoy the moments, big and small,

And cherish life’s sweet, tender call,

Leave the fleeting pleasures you lug,

For life must be your best drug.
