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.
