habits

Bad habits are hard to break!

You go through recovery

only to relapse;

repeating the cycle

never quite quitting,

only temperamental breaks

between drags

It's so easy to fall into something familiar

it is comforting to be with what you know,

but, what you know and what is real are not the same

What you want and what is good is not the same

It's just not the same anymore

Things change with time

Things don't always fit together like

a poem and a rhyme do, 

like bullying and high school

Do you remember why you tried to quit?

The reason is there,

you just have to look for it

You're falling back into old routines

You're forgetting the past,

not learning from mistakes

Why go through hardship

just to repeat the same fate?

It makes no sense!

To understand what I mean,

think of a relit cigarette;

it never taste the same!

And that's all that I'll say

about rekindling old flames
