To help replace the fags and matches <br />I’ve opted for those 16 hour patches <br />Chewing on anything to ease the craving <br />But just think of the money that I am saving <br /> <br />Now I’ve had my near misses I can not deny <br />But it’s been hard to let go and say goodbye <br />Some days I’m moody, I snap and I shout <br />Some days the fags are all I think about <br /> <br />Since I’ve quit my food intake has grown <br />My weight has ballooned stone after stone <br />Agonizingly watching them from afar <br />I jealously see others inhaling their tar <br /> <br />Now today i stupidly smoked a fag <br />Then with guilt threw the packet in the bin bag <br />I know it was stupid and i know it was wrong <br />But i know i can do this, i know that i'm strong <br /> <br /> <br />(Written 05/18/07/Updated 05/19/07)<br /><br />nicola burkett<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/giving-up-59/
