Written - May 7th - Finished - May 23rd - 11th Grade
Ashes Burn To Filter
As I light up
Disappointment overtakes the light-headedness
Taking drags of happiness
Precedes thoughts of un-fullfilment
Smiling from ear to ear
Knowing this is the last blaff
How many times do we say
My last one, I swear?
I just started, should I quit?
What's the use of that anyway?
All gonna end up the same,
So why worry babe?
Smoke fills the innocent lungs
Fighting the urge to shut down
It comes slowly out the mouth
In one long exhale
Looking straight at the ground
As the ashes burn to filter
Shaking occasionally need a smoke
Don't wanna have to revoke
The joys of it all
From start to finish
Damn, it's great
But nah, it isn't
Counting minutes off my life
Relaxing for a little while
Why need minutes when I'm eighty
Dead by seventeen, heaven save me!
Don't believe that though,
So where will I go?
Smoke fills the innocent lungs
Fighting the urge to shut down
It comes slowly out the mouth
In one long exhale
Looking straight at the ground
Ashes burn to filter
