Running out of Breath

by Arianna Woods

I spent so long drinking
That I started to drown
Spent so much time smoking
My lungs gave out
But I quit
I quit everything
I even quit quitting

Author's Note: I even quit this poem.

Nah. I won't lie and say that this is your best, but it's still a nice little shot of introspection. I honestly thought you were going for something tongue-in-cheek here. In any case, it's not great, but it still works well. The first four lines are actually quite good and would serve well starting off a better poem.

Short, sweet, and to the point. Some of the best stuff is exactly that. Thumbs up.
