Long ago when daddy
found out my lungs were
getting darker and darker
every day, he asked me
Why? I always knew;
inside I did not want
to disappoint him more.
I can only blame my foolish
mind that has always been
Pig headed and curious. At
First I thought that it was
The worst thing in the world-
But as the earth circled the
Sun; I began to
Crave it even more. Nothing
Controls me! I used to gloat,
But now without these tobacco
Infested sticks I am worthless.
I cannot think; my fingers twitch
As if they were talking to me.
I come from a long line of
Addictive personalities. And
The cigarettes seem to snort
Me and my family like the
drug we are to this habit
that gets harder and harder
to kick.
