Still in the Smoker's Section

by Ike Dizzle   Jun 20, 2009


Sticks and stones
Can break my bones
So can words
Even over the phone

Words can lead
To dangerous things
Like popping pills
Drinking or smoking

People do these things
To escape reality
But getting high or drunk
Is just part of your mentality

You dont need drugs
To escape your pain
Just stay focused
And stay sane

But sometimes its hard
To hear words of rejection
Maybe thats why Im still
In the smokers section

    I liked this. Small, speedy stanzas, but with good reason. I liked how it seemed like you were the person with the answers, and then revealled yourself to be in a similar position. That interested me.

    You had a good point here, the twist at the end just showed that words really can and do affect ones mentality and the way that they live their lives. Good job :)
