Cigarette

What if I'm a lifetime-long cigarette,
doing nothing but despair and pain,
take minutes from the young,
ozone from the sky,
and burn the forest that I'm in.

Fooling others that I'm a source of light,
yet all I do is burn,
kill,
and destroy.

Helping others forget about problems,
yet taking away their lives doing so.

Maybe I should stay away,
from life,
from people.
