I forcefeed my body a poison in the name of peace When it coughs and begs please don’t I hold my hands over its crying mouth and say just one more The sweet aroma only I can smell when it’s been so long My lungs cry at this smell The putrid tears of tar seep into my stomach It moans a low growl and gurgles it’s insults at me these slurs slide down these tubes of mine whispering over one another as if those tar teardrops had turned into small souls clawing at me until their grave My soul lying at the bottom becoming darker and darker
As I continue to try to quit smoking cigarettes I’m both aware of the damage I’m causing my body, but at the same time the release I feel when I smoke. This is a constant fight with myself.
