Coughing fit
mistakes fill my lungs
as I cough
I take thick and regretfilled breaths
I grip my chest
They ask me if I’m having fun yet
if I’m happy
if it’s kicked in
I don’t answer
not yet
I’m not sure what I’m supposed to say

That last line is so real. Good work.
I relate to this so much
though I’ve tried hard
Smoking pot kicks me
…great poem
