I usually write happy poems
Poems that make you smile
I'm scared and filled with sadness
So it's gonna be a while.

Cancer took a hold of me
And tore my world apart
Cigarettes controlled my life
God, why did I ever start?

I saw my family devastated
Death after death
Caused by smoking cigarettes
Until their very last breath.

I have so much to live for
So much to do and say
Another chance at living
Is what I pray each day.

Each and every morning
I wake up and I cry
I can't seem to control it
No matter how hard I try.
