I Smoke Because I Like It

I Smoke Because I Like It

A Poem by Megan
"

My choices are mine alone, stop thinking that you've influenced me to do anything. The only thing you've influenced me to do at all was write this poem about how stupid you are.

"
I'm not that impressive
Leaving the wrong impression
Like a partial thumbprint
I'm not enough to make anything
Trying to blend in 
In the morning
A new creation, in the making
I always begin again
While you stand 
With all your stupid little friends
Blowing down 
Fading out 
While my hands are in my pockets
Playing with the pocket lint
Fighting the urge 
To smoke my last cigarette 
Cause I'm angry
I want to drive away and leave you here
In the cold in the freezing wet
Rain on my parade 
Cause you keep 
Playing me down
Underestimating me
Was your biggest mistake
Rolling your eyes
Cause I've made new bad habits
Giving yourself credit 
For something you never did
Like love me
Or make me who I am today
Making them believe 
You're the reason I've succeeded
But I've made my own way
The choices I've made
Were never because of you
They were because 
I wanted to try something new
You're not that impressive
Leaving the wrong impression
Like a partial thumbprint
You're not enough to make anything

People think they can influence others when really they are only selling themselves short. If everyone minded their own business this world would be a much better place. I liked the read.

Well there's not too much to tell I like to keep things simple And when I write sometimes it's constructed And other times I just go off on a tangent. I like to really examine emotions I.. more..
