why do I do this to me?

Conscious choice,
when I was younger,
sitting there,
in despair,
boredom, discontent,
I couldn't bear.

So who cares?
Kill me puff by puff,
nice slow death,
hmm.... rough.
Didn't bother me then,
now I can't breathe,
just like this,
gasp, heave.

Click of the lighter,
again and again,
in my moments of joy,
I regret it then.

Because now
I can't breathe,
but the demon
has hold on me.

I can't breathe,
why do I do this to me?

Conscious choice,
when I was younger,
sitting there,
in despair,
boredom, discontent,
I couldn't bear.

So who cares?
Kill me puff by puff,
nice slow death,
hmm.... rough.
Didn't bother me then,
now I can't breathe,
just like this,
gasp, heave.

Click of the lighter,
again and again,
in my moments of joy,
I regret it then.

Because now
I can't breathe,
but the demon
has hold on me.
