Trying To Quit

Habits can be such a pain,
Can cause you anguish,
Give you fits.
Especially when you decide
It's really time to call it quits.
Physically and mentally
You're never quite prepared.
Talking tough is easy
Though inside you're really scared
To think of giving up your crutches,
Cherished little quirks.
It really burns when others spurn
Cajolingly and smirk
And smile and even laugh out loud
At your latest vain attempt.
The last thing that you need is mocking
When you seek redemption
From the strangle hold, creating a
Revival from the deep.
Self-denial is enough to
Make the strongest weep.
Finding all the puzzle pieces,
Seeing how they fit,
No one knows how tough it goes
Until they try to quit.
