sitting in this dark room thinking of too much I inhale dragging in the pollution of the world enjoying it, almost never knowing what I am doing tearing a peice of me away alone my hand shakes as I bring it to my lips holding on to something, anything blocking fresh air and so much more beleiving the liar instead of the Truth unable to realize that this and so much more is disrtoying me where is the help I so despratly seek in front of me I'm sure but the smoke blocks my sight not allowing me to see that You are there standing next to me holding all the anwsers offering all the hope all the love that I need if only I would put down the things that distroy me and offer it all up to You why do I allow the world to hurt me why do I hurt myself by not seeing what You offer me help me Oh Lord to put down this that hurts me and everything else that it could be not just a cigarette but everything I do that makes You weep. Isaiah 1:18 |

Cigarettes! Another thing we think we've got 'til realizing it has us. Even Apostle Paul said he does things he don't want to and doesn't do what he wants to do. We're much the same. You ask for help, admitting need in this heartfelt piece and relate to pain caused. Very well done. Rae |

A very good analogy. We all have some kind of struggle. Glad there is one who is able to help us. I always like to read your poems. |

What insidious things cigarettes are! I hope you find the strength to put them away for good. Betty Lou Hebert [This message has been edited by Trillium (edited 11-24-2001).] |
