Don't Smoke
Is it because
There's a little part of you that wants to be dead?
Or is it because
Your life feels empty without some ritual?
Or is it because
The rebellion against the adults hasn't ended yet?
—But the adults sell cigarettes...
And you are young and rich for now.
You have the ritual, for free...
You wake up each day, don't you?
It's no excuse to start smoking.
Where is the rebellion in acting like a fuck-up?
Why not embrace simple health?
It is obvious there is work to do,
Strong and deliberately.
We are the ones. We have to do it.
No more parents. No more gods. Taking responsibility.
Living in the world on our own,
There's no punishment—only knowing what to do, no excuses...
Do not wait. Go. Improve yourself right now.
