cigarettes and cannabis

| six |

one day she sat in the bathroom
smoking cigarettes as usual

when another girl enters
she stares
with those sad dark eyes

call me loser, i don't care

but then
something unexpected happens

the girl snatches the cigarette from her hand
stepping on it
then throwing it in the trash

"stop smoking."

those two words made her wide eyed
she stared at the girl with less sad eyes

"w-what?"

her voice comes out hoarse and rasp
she hadn't talked to another human being in

f o r e v e r

"stop smoking." she says again
then taking her hand she helps her up
and throws the rest of the cigarettes in the trash

suddenly she feels alive

the girl helped her
cleaned her up
and gave her a spot in lunch

for once
she felt
h a p p i n e s

and from her heart
she should've known she could've been happy from the start
even without cigarettes and cannabis
