Slow Suicide

Every time I feel
Smoke enter my lungs
I know that I'm dying
A slow suicide.

Every time I exhale
Smoke rings into the air
I know that I'm killing myself
With a slow suicide.

Every time I feel
The aches, the pains,
The burns, the stings,
Withdrawals of nicotine
I know that I'm a victim
Of a slow suicide.

If you smoke i'll die before you from second hand smoke. They say that second hand smoke kills people faster from cancer then those who do smoke.

Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.
