My Last Cigarette
I pace around the house
smoking my last cigarette
I won't let these tar-sticks
contribute to my death
I already put the rest of the pack
deep down in the trash
No longer will these devilish things
give my lungs a rash
So tonight I can say that I am
free of the smokes
A cleaner healthier body
and a clearer throat
But to my anxiety I need to smoke
this last gosh-darn cigarette
It's helping me to cope
From dreadful things in my head
