I breathe it in slow.
After all, it’s only one.
I want another.

 

I inhale again.
Still, a second will not hurt.
Maybe just one more.

 

This is my last time.
I will not do it again.
You got a lighter?

 

Please make it slow down.
It is taking over me.
My dry lips need more.

 

Never will I stop.
I just want the smoke to clear.
But it never will.

 

I am in trouble.
My lungs are burnt to a crisp.
Help. I cannot breathe.

Smoking awareness. It is as simple as that. Please think twice before you light.
