Cigarettes Cause Premature Death

Yummy.

By BeckaPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

When you smoke,

do you smoke to die?

I always do.

I drink to die.

I snorted to die.

But I can’t.

So why would I stop

just cigarettes?

To my body’s wellness debt,

I paid off most of it.

My skin still looks like shit

but I’m working on it.

Just like I’m working on myself

but that party girl

still follows me around.

So I run away from her

like a bat out of hell with

a cigarette in my hand

and I blow her away.

Trying to forgive me

who still lives here.

So if a Dr. Pepper

and a cigarette

make me alright?

I’ll smoke 'til I float

and I’ll live to die.
