Smoke a little smoke: A poem

She takes a long drag of her smoke

And sighs as she exhales. Has life really

Gotten like this?

She puts the cigarette back for another

Drag. She flicts the ash and watches it

Tumblr to the ground. Was she happy?

Is she content? Is this where she thought

She’ll be?

Her smoke is almost half done but still

Questions float around her head. Making

Her account for everything little detail of

Her life. She sucks back another drag..

Probably her last before the cigarette is

Done. Her life really this bad? Or is it

Her anxiety and depression playing their

Evil mind games again. Poof! Like that

Her cigarette is done, should she light

Another one or just be content with not

Being content. Life…is fucked. She puts

The cigarettes away. She done. She done

In this moment. Perhaps the next

Cigarette, won’t make her contemplate

Just as much as this one. She just wanted

To smoke a little smoke.
