I have been smoking for 30 plus years,

A crime in itself,

A difficult habit to break,

It gets worse, if you are trying to manage Diabetes,

At the same time,

Sometimes I forget to eat and drink,

To sustain my body,

It is a vicious cycle,

Complicated by self-greed,

Paralyzed in a sense of malnutrition,

I hope that the younguns will cherish this fact or fiction,

And take it with them to their graves,

They will learn about the problems eventually,

A mishap that I desire so much,

It is hard to keep my mouth shut about it,

Mayhap next year.

fact or fiction
