I deserve a cigarette <br />I deserve to breathe noxious fumes into my lungs <br />I deserve to always crave a cigarette <br />I deserve to feel anxious if I do not have one <br /> <br />I deserve to feel guilty and weak <br />I deserve to push my guilt onto others <br />I deserve to get emphysema and lung cancer <br />I deserve to pay for cigarettes <br /> <br />I deserve to smell disgusting <br />I deserve to live in fear <br />I deserve to spend any spare moment breathing noxious fumes <br />I deserve to think I am getting something out of it <br /> <br />No-one deserves that <br /> <br />(Sydney, Australia - 2005)<br /><br />Alessandra Liverani<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-deserve-a-cigarette/
