Quit Smoking

A message to all smokers - Please Quit Smoking:)

I open my eyes and look around, 
I think of the setting Sun.
At last its the truth that I've found.
But, neither life, nor death can I shun.

I lie helpless on my bed.
Still alive, but waiting to be dead.
Tears of regret flood my cheeks.
One last chance, is all my life seeks.

The doctors just refuse to say, 
If I would live through the day.
I wonder if it would be just to pray.
Coz, I am a smoker, and I smoked my life away.

I am broken inside, 
But I try to be brave.
On me were the eyes of doom that spied, 
As I puffed towards my grave.

My dear ones stand, by my side.
Tears of sorrow, they can't hide.
My mom sits weeping, by my feet.
Wondering how long, will her son's heart beat.

I had smoked like a chimney -day and night, 
Knowing not, that it wasn't right.
Now I wish, I hadn't seen this day, 
I am a smoker, and I smoked my life away.

I had to pay the price.
As written in my fate.
Friend! Please heed my voice.
And quit it, before its too late.

I like this, it has a good message, it is best not to start because I hear it is really hard to quit.

Good Job

I was smoking when I read this. I can't say it made me quit . . . but I did unconsciously dip the unfinished butt in the ashtray towards the end. Thanks for the positive message. And I'm sorry to hear about your pain. Be well.

I don't smoke .. And I am not in any kind of pain .. This poem was meant for a friend of mine who used to smoke. :)
