My best friend Nicotine

When I'm down she lifts me up, when I'm anxious she calms me down. When I can't stand the brightness of the sun she turns my vision down. They say is not good for me, but see, my family has this tradition. Between alcohol and smoke, I choose her. All the smoke lodges up in my lungs and I smile. Rotten inside and happy for the ride.
