Your Only Young Once.

Wed, 10/20/2021 - 23:54 -- Wired6

I saw her,with fag in her young mouth.

She couldn't have been more than 12 years old.

I swear,I was very surprised,

for God's sake,

she's just a child.

What led her 2 wanting 

a carbon monoxide,nicotine,benzene,in her mouth?

Clearly her guardians don't know.

Or maybe they do!

You're only young,baby gurl.

Go live your life child.

Without the need for smoking

I'm "fixin" 2 go outside.

My asthma can't take the smoke.

Goodnight."
