Just One More Cigarette! Poem by Sara Tehrani

We just want to be happy

Drink so much to feel it in my blood, feel it shake into me

Grow into insanity

We just want to be happy

A glass or two wont hurt me

Will it hurt you?

I want to fall

But afraid ill only fall down

Life is brutal and so unforgiving

Deep down inside

I wonder if it will ever change

Jacobs creek, cigarette and the green

The thoughts

The way it moves inside my body

More my mind

But I don’t want to depend on poison

For one night just let me feel unfrozen

We just won’t let go simply because the packet says so!

1 cigarette won’t hurt me

2 hardly addicted!

20 a day and Your Dead!

We just want to be happy!
