I Resist, I Do
March 22, 2011
The chills in my skin
The adrenaline rush through my blood
The battle of voices in my head
The sweat in my palms
My feet won't stop moving
My heart is beating uncontrollably
The boiling and freezing feeling at once
The craving for tobacco
They're calling for me
My heart says no
But my mind is stubborn
I want it
We want it
I resist, I do
I remember my promises to my loved ones
I remember the come down
but it's not enough to say: no
I want it
We want
The pill goes down my throat.
