I Smoke Because I Like It

My choices are mine alone, stop thinking that you've influenced me to do anything. The only thing you've influenced me to do at all was write this poem about how stupid you are.

I'm not that impressive

Leaving the wrong impression

Like a partial thumbprint

I'm not enough to make anything

Trying to blend in 

In the morning

A new creation, in the making

I always begin again

While you stand 

With all your stupid little friends

Blowing down 

Fading out 

While my hands are in my pockets

Playing with the pocket lint

Fighting the urge 

To smoke my last cigarette 

Cause I'm angry

I want to drive away and leave you here

In the cold in the freezing wet

Rain on my parade 

Cause you keep 

Playing me down

Underestimating me

Was your biggest mistake

Rolling your eyes

Cause I've made new bad habits

Giving yourself credit 

For something you never did

Like love me

Or make me who I am today

Making them believe 

You're the reason I've succeeded

But I've made my own way

The choices I've made

Were never because of you

They were because 

I wanted to try something new

You're not that impressive

Leaving the wrong impression

Like a partial thumbprint

You're not enough to make anything

People think they can influence others when really they are only selling themselves short. If everyone minded their own business this world would be a much better place. I liked the read.
