Let me be your shelter from the storm The light within your dark The anthem of all vexed confused adolescents who pray for such a miracle to manifest You light a cigarette My heart contracts I continue to tell my tale though never pausing never betraying myself how it still hurts to see you find solace in such |

Oh, my, how I do agree with you and you've said it so incredibly well, incredibly! AND when it wears off and another one is needed the person is more nervous and more stressed than before each cigarette was smoked. |

and the person realises that smoking is bad for his health but he just wont have it any other way because he is reliant on smoking and on the monetary benefits it brings... thank you, VAS |

now this is definitely not the way I imagined that line could be used faterider. . . great job with it. . . a totally unique perspective. . . ----------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

Kaile loved this especially this verse. The anthem of all vexed confused adolescents who pray for such a miracle to manifest "Build a man a fire, he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life". Terry Pratchett |

This one definitely has a sting. A cigarette never did solve anything. What are they thinking? All writing comes |
