Cigarettes

Started just to be a crutch,
Didn't mind smoking that much.
But then everyday
Is like I used to smoke my life away.
But the i realized I had to stop,
I could feel my heartbeat drop.
Mental death,
Just breathe in that last simple breath.
Cigarettes;
Yeah it's true, they leave you breathless.
Cigarettes,
In the end, you can't pretend
You're addicted.
Negative thoughts blow through my mind,
And the words are not so kind.
People say
it's all in your head-the life you portray.
Cigarettes,
They keep you low,
You just don't know.
It seems to be
The life for me.
I picked one up the other day,
After one year of being away.
I enjoyed,
I started playing again just like a toy.
Feel like dying,
It burns inside.
People wondered about the things I'd hide.
Your life sucks
when you go back and use that simple crutch.
