Up In Smoke

Here I sit late within the evening and wearily type upon the keyboard.

My life has been full of challenges, some good and some I long to forget.

Throughout my life, I periodically sit back and evaluate,

Where I'm currently at and what I have accomplished within this period.

Which road do I wish to travel upon?

I must admit, a lifelong habit I had once farewelled, 

Regularly returned disguised as some emotional crutch,

I'm now pleased that it no longer grips my daily existence,

Today, I'm 37 days smokefree.

For I will always be a smoker,

It is that I now, choose not to smoke.

Respect it.
