Recapturing Myself

(I dedicate this to my battle of quitting nicotine)

Before I was anxiety with rage
Consumed by consumables

I finally forced consumables to retreat
I didn’t do it alone I had my angels

I can finally see the world with clarity
It isn’t so bad when your mind can breath

The irony with chemicals is toll one pays
First skipping a toll only later feel death
