Mar 2015
Nigh on twenty years I've been your slave
The scars you've inflicted I hope to erase
My freedom I hope to save
To a life free of smoke I want to embrace

These ***** and chains have weighed me down for too long
Casting them away will be no mean task
But I know I can do it as long as I stay strong
This illusion of false gratification I will unmask

And so I'm asking you to be understanding
For this life of slavery I'm going to be ending
For this demon will be difficult to outwit
No matter how easy it is to say **I Quit
Something I wrote to try to help me get through this time. Hopefully I'll succeed this time.

A special thanks to Ryn for proof reading it and offering suggestions. Thanks man.
