Ode To Day 73 – This Quit Is All About Me

Another day quit, and I’m happy to say,
I ain’t putting that shit near my mouth today.
It’s been 73 days and I feel pretty good
I’ve earned each one, and proud that I could.
At first I said, “I did it for my boys”
So I’d live longer, and watch them play with their toys.
But as time went by, I began to see
This quits not for them, It’s all about me.
To some that sounds selfish, arrogant, and contrite,
But you’ve not been where we’ve been, they’ve not faced this fight.
You see, I once was a jock, and wrestled with the best,
That pales in comparison to facing this test.
Each day is choice: choose life or choose death
Keep diippin’ the bitch and you’ll breath your last breath.
We know what to do, I can’t tell us no more,
I chose life and tomorrow is day 74!
