My mortality

Last week I got some very disturbing news.

I have lung cancer and my life is something I'm going to lose.

In less than a year I'll be deceased.

I'll have a tombstone that says Rest in peace.



I smoked three packs of cigarettes everyday for over two decades.

Now I'm about to lose everything and I really am afraid.

I died a little more with each cigarette that I lit.

If you're a smoker, you really should quit.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This is a fictional poem but this really does happen to people everyday.
