Ironic, isn't it?


‘She knows how ironic this is, she might as well smoke, why not? But cigarettes, while damaging, are pleasurable too, and besides, Nicotine, that takes years before it hurts.’ – Willow 

That pretty much describes my life about two weeks ago. I never thought about it like that before, nor could I explain it. I tried a cigarette about two weeks ago. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t good either, but not that bad, which should have scared me, but it didn’t. The only reason why I haven’t done it again is because Laura. Laura told me it was bad, and dumb, which it probably is, but at the time I felt like it was the best thing, something that would make me feel better, especially then. It should have scared me but it didn’t, I should have been afraid of the consequences but I wasn’t, and that should have scared me. I should have ran the other direction, not given into the impulse. Every one probably has those impulses. They are defiantly less than they were, but every once and a while I feel like I should just have one, but then I remember Laura, and I remember that it won’t be worth it, just a quick fix, and Laura even said that isn’t true, so I listen. Just one, that is all I wanted, just one. However, like she said, Nicotine takes years before it hurts, and sometimes, I need it now.

It

It likes to mess with me.
It has a way of gnawing at me.
It knows me.
It can’t stop, I don’t want it to.
It takes pleasure in my torture.
It likes the chase. 

I don’t know if it is a friend or foe.
I struggle to get a hold of it.
I will catch it.
I.will.win 

The Mirror is a funny thing.
The Mirror distorts your perception.
The Mirror shows all.
The Mirror lets you see your wins and your fails.
The Mirror tears you apart, but makes you better.

I have tried to be good, do the right thing, the right way, but that gets me nowhere, so now we do things my way. 

I have plated its twisted little games for far too long. I am making up my own game and it plays by my rules. 

I have done this before so it remembers, that will make it happy. 

Everything else is falling apart so I need something to control again…and not just a sharp object.

Am I playing with fire? Probably, but I don’t mind, I don’t mind at all…..

And neither does it.
