If I went on an acid trip

Gary and Bri would pick me up from work and we jumped on the freeway headed towards Payson. We would race on the frwy and find our friend Rick and smoke a bowl at his house. It took an hour of singing and rocking out in the car to get to the camp spot, but we didnt like it. Want to be miles away from everyone.We spend 2 hours driving to Strawberry Reserve. We are driving through herds of cattle,huge wild horses and really shocked looking deer. Bri climbs out of the car and out of her clothes into the 40 degree weather running around naked on the trail in the Utah State Forest. Gary takes off his clothes and runs around the car with her I dont know about ghost riding the whip from the backseat of the car. I can see Bris boho deep red cloth flickering in the cold wind and I hit the pipe again. We drive through flowing fields and huge green pines and pull over. I can hear some wrist slitting emo acoustic mix as I absorb the acid from the piece of paper on my tongue, and felt immedietley electric. Everyone doubles the dose except me. My eyes feel like glowing pumpkinsBri is naked. Bri is driving naked. She doesnt have a license, and had never driven a car, and happens to be tripping on acid. STOP.GO.STOP.GO.STOP.GO. my head keeps hitting the front seat of the car, and I think its funny. Gary is really sensitive right now and everything is irritating him hes acting like an infant , Bri's driving is scaring the hell out of me. Nobody says anything so I do BRI YOU CANT DRIVE. Gary is driving, the whale car is hopping up and down the dirt trail, bouncing, you can hear everything scraping the undercarriage being hit my huge rocks, nobody bats an eye. We make it to the spot about 30 minutes before dawn. We take another dose. Smoke another bowl. This forest looks like an enchanted fairytale. And with golden curly locks , cowboy bots, my sundress and I feel like a glittering princess. The trees are white and everywhere, the green green green grass is everywhere, theres animals and trails, The sky is so big. I have never seen anything so beautiful and I run off the trail because if I was standing still I would have for sure died. I ran out into the wilderness and everything I touched gave me chills. I felt the trees breathe and saw the curve of the earth. I ran to the edge of a cliff and looked straight down not afraid to fall. I ran back to camp and noticed a small fire and a tent set up. I kick saplings over and break the wood off of them, grab a huge handful of wood, and a log, more than i could have ever carried before. I repeated bringing wood back and had a huge bon fire going before I even knew it. I walked back and flames licked my face and legs. The tent was almost on fire and I couldnt even move. I stood with my face melting my eyes burning bright for the fire licking the plastic nylon tent. The colors made my mind race I closed my eyes and I was in another world. The beetles played over in my head. I grabbed my guitar and the string cut into my blistered fingers. it was getting hot. I needed to find my friends. Everyones talking about energy, this has cold energy, this has hot energy. Your energy is making my energy feel cool blah blah blah..I cant eat/sleep/drink/lay down/ sit still...fuck energy. I felt like I could fly, I ran down the trail falling over, scattering deer. I see them leaping through the field and I spring off my feet and leap through the field like a wild woman. I chase the deer, for a long time until I couldnt see them anymore and I am out of breath about to pass out and then I run more. I dont know where anything is but I can hear rushing water and the sound tickles my ears and makes my fingers and body shake. I want to close my eyes and fall back forever. The sky is so beautiful I cant look away, it makes me want to cry thinking God put me here. The wind rushes through all the valleys and brush flows past me and suddenly, my tiny breath, humans existing seems like a ridiculous concept. I feel almost insignificant amongst the huge maple trees. Small things dont seem to matter anymore and I close my eyes and run further away from camp. My watch is the only thing keeping me sane. My eyes cant concentrate and I know I am talking but not about anything in particular. The sun makes my skin feel on fire and I run back to camp, which took an hour, I counted. I have no idea how I found my way back. i eat a handful of m&m's and immedietley feel sick. Gary, Bri and Rick take 2 more hits, I am too strung out to notice they are falling into the rabbit hole deep deep into the rabbit hole. We smoke another bowl and Rick is starting to annoy me. I keep my mouth shut and lay in the sun. My body feels like it will implode. My head is spinning and I am on my feet again climbing up a tree. Im not a good climber, but anything can happen in cowboy boots. I get to the middle of the tree and stare out im 20 feet off the ground. Without breath I close my eyes and fall backwards out of the tree. I hear the CLUMP of my body hit the cold soft ground I cough and it tastes like m&m's. People are rushing towards me I can feel warm blood running down my neck. My blood feels like the finest silks and the warmest of puddings. I lift a cold steel barbell to my face, blood dripping on my lips and I throw it back into the grass, again I run back to camp this time with warm blood dripping down the back of my neck, those people werent real. Rick has tb, and continues to smoke smoke smoke. He cant keep up on the hikes and hacks a lung no joke about every 2 minutes. Bri and Gary are together but Bri and rick are making out in front of me in the tent this is wrong and I dont want to be involved with this. Everyones huddled together for warmth, but I feel like something weird will go down if I stay in this tent. I jump on top of the car and dance under the clouds. My body feels amazing. I feel my fingers and toes boiling and my heart beat feels years apart. I close my eyes and open them again in a completely different part of the forest and crickets and hopping everywhere including into my shoe and they turn into stains as i stomp them from within. The sun is down. Rick is getting on my nerves, he never stops talking. His voice gets higher the more we listen to him. I cover my ears and hope he disappears but he follows me around until I run away. I make another fire, everyones running around naked, load the pipe again. Pass the J, Gary Bri and Rick take another dose and go inside the tent. My eyes have fire in them and laying down right now is the furthest thing from mind. Its impossibly bright outside and the sky is all red. The clouds are flowing around and I can hear the trees creak and I follow the sound of water. Through fields and trees and mud and logs and cliffs and boulders, I am miles away, this time I brought a whistle, with a temp guage and a compass on it. I find the water. A small lion king like watering hole with 4 wild horses. I sit on the waters edge and watch them until they leave. Im sweating the way back, I find deer bones and sage. I join my friends in the tent, but its way too cold and Rick is getting too handsy so I sleep in the car and it feels wonderful. I have no dreams. I felt like I closed my eyes and I open them a moment later with the sun rising and Gary holding what looks like the biggest joint ever or I must be dreaming. Im lit and we light another and take a hike up the mountain. Im jogging along in my dress and run to the very edge of a cliff and barely keep my balance. I wouldnt mind falling. my eyes go black and I am feeling cold sweat dripping down my neck. Sight, Smell, Taste, Touch, and my ears are ringing. My body feels like it has OD'd on sunshine. If I had an acid trip.This confession means nothing.
