One Hit

You can stop

You want to but it’s hard for you to

People talk about how easy it was for them

Yet it is not the same for you

Keep telling yourself this is going to be your last cigarette

But it is far from it

Seeing the disappointment in their eyes

The sorrow and sadness that fills your own parents

All because at 14 years old

You did the worst decision you can make

Picked up a vape and took a hit

Making a deal with the devil

I will make you feel good in exchange for your soul

I will give you buzzes in exchange for your lungs

Your health

Give you a minute of satisfaction

In exchange for your relationship with others

Watching the smoke fill around you

As you take another draw

Playing Russian Roulette

Not knowing when the next time you’re going to get caught

Trying to look at yourself in the mirror

Not being able to recognize who you are

Looking at your teeth

Watching them become more yellow as the days go on

Feeling it in your lungs when you try to run

Run from the hell you have created

From one-hit

Telling yourself this is going to be my last pack of pods

This is going to be the last cigarette I smoke

Im going to quit after this one

Trying to find things to help fill the void

Make it a couple of days until you relapse

Starting to feel like your going to go crazy without it

Oh what I would do for one more hit

To get one more buzz

One minute of a high

A way to feel like your numb

A way to feel like nothing else matters

One hit is all it took

To turn your life upside down

Ruin trust and relationships with the people you love

The trust you worked hard to earn

All because of one hit

One hit is all it took

To ruin your body

To ruin your health

And your lungs
