In pursuit of the higher horse.

A horse not just any horse but a high horse. To sit on a high horse is to be superior to be above all. Yes? Arrogantly sitting there nose turned up to the sky refusing to look down below. Refusing to get off said horse as they are too good to touch the ground where the common man walks. Oh the simply could never trod such common ground as they must remain above to save face and uphold image. What if I told you there was a much higher horse? A horse that will send you rising higher over their own high horse.It exists but it must constantly be chased as it is elusive and once you get a taste you want more. You love being on that high horse above all else and become heroic in efforts to chase it down. Wild mustang wild mustangs free in the field. Almost like a vampire you become because you need it. A vampire needs blood to survive? You need this higher horse to survive. A vampire is pale and thin. This higher horse makes you pale and thin. Without blood the vampire will go mad or die of hunger. Without this higher horse you will go mad and die trying to chase it down. A vampire can be killed by impalement of a wooden stake. The higher horse can impale you as well if you do not tread carefully. Do not upset the higher horse. This higher horse takes you to the moon so you can relax under the stars. Sometimes you fear going back to the ground from where you once came. This is why we chase that temperamental old horse. Fear? Necessity? Survival? I’m only surviving weary from chasing that higher horse. I’m tired very tired but I must keep going. It’s what the horse wants…it’s what I want. I don’t want to come back to the ground. I’ve lost many over the years to sickness, the horse, suicide yet I remain. I don’t know why I still remain when so many have gone. The higher horse must keep me above the ground where things can hurt me so to speak. People and things. The old tribe has dwindled there aren’t many of us left yet I still remain. Out of all the old crew I was the worst offender. I did the most, I chased the higher horse down at the fastest speeds. Why? To survive. At this point it's to keep functioning. Like the vampire I too have grown pale and thin. I've always been a small thing but now I'm hollow. Blotchy skin like a corpse. No need to look for death or at death when I have become the walking version of it.

I'm very tired...I'm going to attempt to sleep.

I know this is not what you meant but it's a meme a thought about while reading your post. Addiction is hard and riding the white horse is fun at some point the journey must end and you can write about your adventures from the comfort of your own sanity. Sanity symbolizes sobriety, btw. Much love and 🙏hopes you make it off the horse safely. s

@Lostpoet That's true it's all fun and games until it isn't fun anymore. It used to be but now it's survival to feel semi normal. Some people tell me you shouldn't be shooting dope at your age. You're just a sad old man child. Blah blah but they don't understand.

@NovaNine We are all men child's but addiction is hard and it's easy to fall into; people have a bad day and decide to snort at a party or they break their arm or get diagnosed with cancer and maybe they were just lonely and needed an escape. But the medicine is worse than the disease. You should fight the problems behind your addiction and you should talk about it. Users usually do have the best stories. I'm not looking down on you or anything I have my own struggles that i'm too old to still be dealing with and sometimes i'm left with the feeling that certain people are just fcked, but it's not true man; even the fcked sometimes walk into the sunlight at the end of their journey. I hope you end up being one of those.

@Lostpoet I hope so too because I'm just tired. Defeated and tired. It's been so long I don't fully remember the reason why I started using. Maybe I've suppressed it.
