One More

One more minute in this hour, I will lose my temper,
one more day in this whole month and I will just surrender,
one more problem that I get and  I will snap like branches,
one more tear inside my eye, I wont know what will happen,
one more word from anybody, I will lose my last nerve,
one more drag of cigarettes and I will have some cancer,
one more hit of weed and I will have my body floating,
one more reason why I need to breath like I was choking
one more chance to make it right and no more ways to change it,
one more human off this planet will not be worth you saving,
one more thing before I go and I be more than history,
one more way to finish up and that's by you all missing me,
one more laugh to break the silence and I'll be complete,
one more poem made by man and that one man was me!
