Giving UP
By kaz4sim
Stale smelly ashtraysDid I really care?Was I right to invade My kids precious airThey didn’t moan muchBut I knew they looked downWhen I lit up a fagThey’d move and they’d frownBut even all this Didn’t incite me to quitI’m a smoker, they knowSo that was just it!Then one day my chestWas as bad as can beCoughing and wheezingSure this is healthy!!I’m killing myselfWhen I inhale this smokeAm I enjoying not breathing?Is this a joke?So I made a resolveI decided to stopDidn’t tell anyoneIn case I did flopI got through the first day.. Not too bad you seeMaybe this quittingWould be easyBut then all at onceThe cravings did startCould I last this out?Did I have the heart?My willpower was waningI’m finding this hardBut I built my defences And strengthened my guardIt’s been a tough battleOnly 10 weeks todayAnd its not been so easyI would like to sayMy hands now do thingsInstead of holding the drugLike counting my savingsAnd buying new rugsMy family and friendsThink I’ve done ever so wellAnd you know I AGREESo my tale is to tellSo don’t stop giving upAnd do it for YOUEach day brings you closerTo a healthier new YOU Written October 21st, 2001 © on Oct 21 2001 12:54 AM PST 0 • 10
