Cancer

What a terrible and painful way to go

From all the smoking you did it finally took its toll

Taught everyone a lesson not to smoke

If you really want a scare, just look at what it did to him

Do you really want to die the way he did?

Suffering, not able to move?

Passing away during his sleep apnea?

 

If you really think about it

About how long it took for the total effects to take its toll

It was not very long

He was not totally lucky in this case

Not everyone will be able to pull through

Not everyone will live a few years

In some cases, they die within half a year

 

So the next time you think of lighting up

Think real hard about the consequences

The consequences Gary suffered

Loosing too much weight too fast

Having to lie in that bed all day long

Wondering if you’re going to live

Seeing the people you love in deep sadness

Feeling helpless

What can you do?

Nothing. Nothing at all

 

All you can do is lie there

Scared

Wondering if you will pull through

Thinking what the outcome would have been

If you had just made that decision

The decision to not smoke

 

All you can be told is that you’re a fool

You’re basically throwing your life out the window

Not caring about how your loved ones will feel when you’re in this situation

You especially will regret that day

The day you decided to smoke

The day you finally gave into peer pressure

And for what?

To just die?

 

It’s your life

Mess around with it as you please

But just remember

When that day comes

When you are lying on your deathbed

Regretting that very stupid decision you made

All you have to blame is yourself

Don’t look for pity

You won’t get any

You were warned and by God,

Pray you don’t die

Pray that you can live just a few more years

And when you least expect it, your life is cut short
