Giving Up - A Poem From The Edge
This is a poem dedicated to the madness I feel inside, because I'm trying to give up smoking! It might turn out rubbish, but it's giving me something to do with my hands.....
Foot tapping
Fingers drumming
Clock ticking
Heart beating
What's the time?
Patch on
Arm itching
Constant reminder
Nervous twitching
Never mind!
Shall I cheat?
Who would know?
Who have I told..... anyway?
I could try again
Another day
To save some pennies
And my brain
From this constant craving
Going insane....
Damn...
I told my mum and dad,
My husband,
My son
And Facebook too!
Shit!
I must have been going
Through a fad
Of madness....
Only one thing to do...
To carry on
Foot tapping
Fingers drumming
Heart beating
Clock Watching
Because If I fail
They all will know!
I can't give up
Giving up
My deadly foe...
So could my tale
Of madness
Become a tale
Of strength?
Too soon to know....
