a big change

three days ago
I quit smoking

every second of those three days
i have wanted to smoke

every second

i am thinking about it right now
pulling the smoke in
over my lips an into my chest

feeling it fill the void
cutting anxiety

4 bucks a day
finding it
scraping for it
borrowing it
begging for it

im craving just thinking about them

i know the smell is nasty
the taste is like bile
my skin is starting to wrinkle
my breaths are short
and sometimes they burn

i did what i had to
to fit into my life

and now im doing the opposite
to get out

will it work?

200 minutes a day
17 years

thats going to be a hard habit to break
and this patch doesnt do shit!

It's OK... you are allowed. Don't beat yourself up.

Cave then try again.
Good luck.. when you are really ready you will do it.
