I overcame your evil with my good, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Narrowly escaping my grave, I shakily stood…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You lured me in my teenage; <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For, I wanted to look \u201ccool\u201d in college.. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I puffed you in every cranny and nook, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Until like a furious chimney I began to look; <\/p>\n\n\n\n
My fetish turned into addiction full blown, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of self-destruction, the seeds were sown\u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You made every cell of my body choke, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As my future evaporated with your deadly smoke.. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I fought you with all might; <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You took no pity to my plight… <\/p>\n\n\n\n
At last I escaped your claws, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With a gaping hole in my jaws…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
