An Excuse I Am Making Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

An Excuse I Am Making

Rating: 4.5


There are many people who value their bad habits.
I know.
I am one of them.
But the ones who once had them to rid,
Are the people I dislike the most.
Especially the ones who brag,
About making up their minds to quit...
Anything that was habit forming but brought harm,
To their bodies.
How do they know my body isn't craving the taste,
For nicotine?
They don't know this.
AND...
It is 'not' an excuse I am making to continue to smoke!

Indeed you are right to suggest a quiting of bad habit in a braggart manner is probably not right to people who live under a craving and suffer. I believe I have written a couple of these so you really shouldn't like me. But intention being what they are I still believe lessons can be taught.
