A Prayer of a Dying Child

[jorgeanna]

I woke up one morning and I was 17,
I knew the day had come
The day I prove to everyone how cool I was
The day I accepted death as my destiny

Little did I know I would regret that day
And my family who kept me alive for 17 years
Would be cursed by me for years of never ending pain

Without thinking I lit the cigarette
I knew it had to be done before the day was over
I coughed a little but I was fine

Now as I lay in bed coughing and choking
My family is beside me
My parents and my sister
I whisper in my sister's ear
"Please don't do what I did"
She just nodded her head in silence

Now as my angel holds me in his arms
I know it's time for me to go
I close my eyes and kiss him one last time
It's funny how we resent those who try to help us when we're alive
And how we beg them to save us when we're about to die
All this because of one silly cigarette
All this because someone was dumb enought to say that
Smoking is cool

this is a constant reminder for me why I quit smoking

I never smoke all my life and not even try, those who dare lit one cigarette sad to say those cool years of pounding will come to rest....

peer pressure was the reason why i started smoking when i was 17.

The most important thing is that you quit. The epithelium that lines your respiratory tract is adaptable. The damage done on your respiratory tract by your smoking will revert to its original epithelial tissue type after time. Good Job, Anna!
