I’m trying to quit smoking

I’m trying to quit smoking

again, for the finances
not for health or survival
or actually for survival
but the kind of survival
where people tend to say
it’s gonna be okay and they
really mean it in their eyes,
not like with cancer, how
people tell people with cancer
it’s gonna be okay and really
what they’re trying to say is I
will miss you when you’re gone
