No longer shall I thrive in this everlasting darkness
Full of shame and hate.
The smoke is making me
Leave my love far, far behind.
My love for you, Mom.
It's gone.
But now I have turned away from the road I was taking
Full of anger, mischief, and destruction.
I am now heading towards the path
Bathed in light and hope.
I used to come home and slam the door
Saying I was just going to do some homework.
Yet the work I was doing was killing me, Mom.
Killing not only my heart and lungs,
Yet my very spirit itself.
Now I am heading towards recovery
And I have thrown the cigarettes out the window.
I brush my teeth to get rid of the stinky breath
That has now filtered through my system.
Sometimes I wonder if it's worth it, Mom.
The pain and sugery to get on through.
But deep down, I know I'm finally doing the right thing.
I'm headed towards a new life, full of love,
Rid of this painful misery.
I long to be in your arms once again.
This time, smoke free.
