Exhale by EsK

I light a cigarette,
I do not need the crutch
It is but my sense of adventure
Of pushing the limits
That attracts me
To do what i must not
To explore the depths
How far can I go
How far can I push and survive
Stay hidden from the standard
To hide my true self
And yet be free, in thought, in mind
To unleash myself
Not for the world, but for myself
To be able to breath
And exhale freedom
To taint from the rigidity
Of this superfluous world
I want to live, and like a cliche
Want to let live
And I light a cigarette
In hopes that I will be blown away
In the puff of smoke that I exhale
