Smoker

Those who have quit, I salute you!

Ah, cigarettes,
Wonderful things
I know, that's low,
Yet still I smoke them

Stub one out, in ashtray dirt
Ouch, finger burned
By splintering cherry
The least of my worries

Inhaled, the breath
Starved of air,
But chasing a level
Receptors calmed for now

Now, for ten or twenty minutes
Until I crave another
Carcinogenic coat,
Of stark displeasure
What a disgusting habit

I really like your honesty I think its what makes this so relatable

Glad you find it relatable! Although if that means that you smoke also then that's not something anyone can be glad about, other than the common ground. It really is something I wish I never started! Thanks for reading.

Good write, 20 years quit. Now, when I see smokers I imagine dragons. I thank God often for the strength he gave me. It took a lot of pray and sunflower seeds to do it.

Well done for quitting, thanks for taking the time to read!
