Deadly Things

"For every gulp, every bottle, every shot, drinking burns your liver. But for a few moments of relief, it frees you from the weight of the world. For every puff, every cigarette stick, smoking slowly kills you with chemicals found in rust, poison, and the dead. But temporarily, it gives you the calmness that you need to pacify your nerves. Like love, it breaks your heart, makes you cry, and it emphasizes the weaknesses you fight to hide. But you take it and give in simply because deadly things even for a while deceitfully feel so right."
