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.

Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.
