The grass grows tall
and the car collects grime.
How the mighty fall
with the passage of time.
So many missed opportunities
with chance in the present to replace.
Like the cold winter's frost
melts to show the spring's face.
Neglect is but a shift
of a larger priority.
From the ashes I lift
above the stale majority
I quit smoking a week ago. This is the longest I've gone in 6 years without a cigarette. I've felt really depressed, I'm not sure if it is the nicotine withdrawal or the realization that I'm going nowhere fast. Either way, I have been writing poetry to cope with sadness.
Donations
I enjoyed, thank you

Depression is a cruel foe that I know as well... but it is also a liar. You ARE going somewhere. You have bravely resisted the pull of nicotine for a week (and yes, there is withdrawal, but you can get through it). Your poetry is beautiful, and being recognized for meeting the gaze and the needs of others. You have gained the support of two big curation trails and a follower -- me.
Don't give up. You've got 20 years added to your life if you resist the temptation to go back to smoking. You are hitting a poetry stride. Don't give up. The journey has to be taken step by hard step -- just keep writing and moving forward. You are not alone. Don't give up.
