Smoking is injurious to health
Was what the packet said
I took it up like a curious child and then I read,

Grotesque images depicting deformities didn't bother me,
Should have seen it then, and should have turned around and fleed.

I took one up, smoked it with the lighter of greed and indulgence
But since that day my life has been everything but effulgent

Unsanctimonius and insane as it may seem,
Now the hope of normalcy seems like a dream.

I have tried to quit but to no avail
I have tried again just to fail
I tread across and leave no trail.

Psychedelia looms around me like smog in winter
Without consuming my meds my sanity is a brief stint(er)


Before we touch fire, we should be cautious that hands can be burnt
Freedom of mind is what our fuckery revolves around but it has to be earned.


I want to quit, fuck it up, cry again, do the same
The point is that fuck life's fuckery it's just a game.

But I find there is hope amidst the thought
Much change in my personality adversity had brought.
My determination is what will push me beyond the finish line,
Oh bruh your going out here's a few bucks bring a cigarette for you and one that's mine.
