Ecstasy


I was 14. He said Try it. I said Why. He said It’ll feel good, feel better that anything you’ve ever felt in your Whole Entire Life; He said it’ll feel like Ecstasy.

And so I did. Try it. I was 14. He said Try it. It’ll feel like Ecstasy. What else could you have expected?

I tried it all right. And then I tried it again. And again and again. Because He was right: It did feel like Ecstasy. And I was Hooked. Some people actually said I had a drug addiction; what did they know? I was just trying it, it was a “phase”–that’s what I said.

Ecstasy more or less ruined me, before I finally got help. Grades, sports, friends: Gone. There was only Ecstasy: That’s what I cared about; that’s why I was. All I wanted was to Use. Forever, for always. Til Death do Us Part.

I was 14. He said Try it. And I did. He said it’ll feel like Ecstasy And He was right. And who knew feeling so Good could ever hurt so Bad.
