Choking

Choking 

On a forbidden happiness

Suffocation 

at what cost? 

Coexisting with a false sensation 

Of a release from the chains you wrapped 

so tightly around yourself 

Finally

free from the pain 

Clean air has changed to a slap in the face 

As you have gotten so used to 

Inhaling not just the smoke 

but also your pain
