I light the cigarette and think
its the start of a brand new day
i breathe it in and fill my lungs
my day has just begun.
I close my eyes and I hear-
no, listen, and its very clear.
I am a simple human being,
not meaningful by any means
I do what I must to survive,
I know I will always get by
I wish that i may never die.
i wish that i could be at peace
with this one day, happening to me.
I focus on my cigarette,
and wish it wasnt half smoked yet
I wish that I could have enough,
I wish that I could know true love
I wish I didnt wish for things
but I am a human being
I realize i am still alive
and I have yet to die
I look at my cigarette
and wish it could be healthy yet
I know its slowly killing me
I put it out and then I think
its the start of a brand new day
another day off my life
its the price to pay.
