Nicotine Nightmares Poem by Adam Holmes

Nicotine Nightmares



Smoke clouds circle thought
I need this fix, nothing else
Once upon a dream I was a champion
Two years and twenty pounds later…

I am an addict

Flames light my smile
Truth or dare, attempt to breathe
In and out
I get older every try

Live by the gun
Die by the gun
I Ready my rifle
Steady my aim

They say quitters never win
What is my prize?
Coughs and cancers
Job well done sir…

Light up another one
