A phrase that so quickly fills others with dread
You're 'bout to say something that ought not be said
Used as an excuse to be hurtful and cruel
You're secretly hoping to start quite a duel
You think you appear very oh-so-concerned
The coward within you is only confirmed
The next time you open with "no offense but..."
I hope that your mouth is quite violently shut

Day 4 of Quitting
If this is how sobriety feels, maybe it’s better to go through life a little buzzed… this, along with other hits like, I want to kill myself, I wish I was dead, and I’m going to throw myself off a bridge have been the only thoughts on rotation these past few days. I promise myself that if, in a month, I still feel like this (‘this’ meaning despondent, full of rage, and simultaneously numb) I can go back to smoking. Until mid-February though? Nicotine is off the table.
