I look in the mirror and I see a stranger

There’s a look in my eyes that tells me I’m scared

My heart is beating fast, my breaths are short and my mind screams danger

For this experience I was not prepared

10 hours ago my heart was also beating quick

I was laughing, having fun with my friends

I glanced at the mirror, and put on my lipstick

Today we were doing a spiritual cleanse

We were promised a spiritual night

A journey we would never forget

What we got instead was not quite that bright

Although it did last until sunset

We took the pill and thus began our adventure

Soon It came upon us, emerging from the shadows in our minds

It danced with the fire and took us on a venture

Urging us to leave our old selves behind

Guiding us through our worst fears

It chugged our worst memories at us

It didn’t care weather we were in tears

It didn’t care for our cuss
