Smokers (The Worst Poem Ever Written)

The warmth of the light,
And the cigarettes comfort me.

While slags talk about their ex-boyfriends,
It smothers me.

Give me some air, as there is so much around
I’m surrounded in this cage, my friends have let me down…

So here I stand, talking to strangers in the night
Some have had STI’s and some just a fright.
