Stoptober!

While I'm glad that I'm cold sober, I'm smoking way too much, So that's why I'll join Stoptober, In fact, I mustn't budge! With firm resolve till on the mend, The days will soon pass by, Smoke free, defiant to the end, All I must do is try... I've been a smoker way too long, I've seen them take their toll, Yet all the while they did me wrong, I simply lost control... From five to ten, then more and more, But just for habit's sake, I was a sucker, that's for sure, As all they did was take... And, man, each packet costs a lot, Just think how much I'll save And I'll improve what health I've got, Denying what I crave... If I stay strong instead of weak, My future looks sublime, The future me, that's what I seek, The better me in time! Denis Martindale, copyright September 2014.
