Exhaling

Written by Jacob Ibrag

Not enough. It’s never enough.

He’s waiting for my answer as I taste

 the tip of my cigarette. This smoke,

the only thing that’s ever remains

consistent. Slowly killing away of

what little of me remains. He needs

 my attention, and it’s all used up.

 Exhaling out, I’ll never be enough.

    Powerful is correct…I lost my father to lung cancer several years after my parents divorced. I can’t even find the words to describe how deeply you captured his struggle. Amazing!

    Everything fits together in one. The picture with the words. This was different and I thoroughly enjoyed flowing with this piece. Thanks for sharing
