Another Smoke ©©

I smoke butt after butt
Just to look through the smoke
To look at the world through a different curtain
Blurring it from my vision

I drink a glass of poison
Then another before I light up one more
I drink to blur my mind
To numb what I feel

Today there is nothing to remember
Nothing worth keeping
Nothing the smoke will take away
The poison will wipe it from my mind

Another, then another
One after another
Until its all ashes
Not even a memory to remember

Inside the smoke
I am hidden from my fears
Protected from my surrounding
Away from what I can’t escape

Another smoke
And another glass of poison
One more until the next one
Until tomorrow and something new
