Hopefully cancer

By Spiked Tongue

I smoke & I choke
in the hopes that one day
all of my troubles will go away

And I doubt my own bravery
sword at my side
I glance at the mirror
and see fear in my eyes

Where is the person I used to know
Where did my courage and persistence go

I had feelings and friends
a perfect fresh start
And now I hold peices of my shattered heart

I don't understand, but I am afraid
I just wish someone would save me from this place
