I smoke cigarettes
Like I'm in a hurry
I drink alcohol
Until fine lines get blurry
Coffee be there for me in the morning
Get me though the day
And stop this endless yawning
Love watching the sun setting
Better yet
Seeing it rise
Insomnia, letting
Falling in love
Until it hurts
Getting burned
And still reaching for the flame again
Wanting people to be real and not pretend
Writing ferociously
Until my pen runs out of ink
Getting it off my chest
Keeps me from the brink

If my addictions are what kills me
Let it be
At least my experience was spent living
And free
