Poem 2 I am the one who is only 17 years old, I am the one who has an early chance, I am the one whose lived in it starting from birth, I am the one who never cared about it up untill now, I am the one who never thought it could happen to me, I am the one who just kept letting it slide, I am the one who is now scared of the future, I am the one who coughs all day and all night getting barely any sleep, I am the one who once again is only 17 years old, I am the one who is already starting to be diagnosed with lung cancer, from second hand somke! Whan I wrote these poems, I instantly thought of the Non smoking Campaign because these poems made me want to tell you guys these true stories, because they have made my life a living nightmare! I wanted to be able to tell America what not only first hand and second hand somke can do to a person alone, but how it can effect others around them not only physically, but also emotionally and mentally! My name is Kat F., and I am only 17 years old and a Senior at Fargo North High School! I was in one of my high school classes oneday, the class is called Creative Writting, and we had an assignment to write a poem or poems on something important to us, the poems I wrote are true stories that happened to me, this is how they go;

Poem 1
I am the one who she favored the most,
I am the one who loved her more and more everyday,
I am the one who trusted her with all my heart,
I am the one who never took her in when I knew I should have,
I am the one who watched her drain slowly more each day,
I am the one who saw and heard her last,
I am the one who tried to runaway from it all,
I am the one who maybe could have made a diference,
I am the one who still wont let her go,
I am the one who watched my grandmother slowly die in an agony of pain, from lung cancer!

Poem 2
I am the one who is only 17 years old,
I am the one who has an early chance,
I am the one whose lived in it starting from birth,
I am the one who never cared about it up untill now,
I am the one who never thought it could happen to me,
I am the one who just kept letting it slide,
I am the one who is now scared of the future,
I am the one who coughs all day and all night getting barely any sleep,
I am the one who once again is only 17 years old,
I am the one who is already starting to be diagnosed with lung cancer, from second hand somke!

Whan I wrote these poems, I instantly thought of the Non smoking Campaign because these poems made me want to tell you guys these true stories, because they have made my life a living nightmare! I wanted to be able to tell America what not only first hand and second hand somke can do to a person alone, but how it can effect others around them not only physically, but also emotionally and mentally!
