My name is Meth
I destroy homes, I tear families apart,
take your children, and thats just the start.
Im more costly than diamonds, more precious than gold,
The sorrow I bring is a sight to behold.
If you need me, remember Im easily found,
I live all around you-in schools and in town
I live with the rich, I live with the poor.
I live down the street, and maybe next door.
Im made in a lab, but not like you think,
I can be made under the kitchen sink,
In your childs closet, and even in the woods,
If this scares you to death, well it certainly should.
I have many names, but there's one you know best,
Im sure you've heard of me, my name is crystal meth.
My power is awesome, try me you'll see,
But if you do, you may never break free.
Just try me once and I might let you go,
But try me twice, and I'll own your soul.
When I possess you, you'll steal and your'll lie,
You do what you have to-just to get high.
The crimes you'll commit for my narcotic charms
Will be worth the pleasure you'll feel in your arms,
your lungs your nose, You'll lie to your mother, you'll steal from your dad,
When you see their tears, you should feel sad.
But you'll forget your morals and how you were raised,
Ill be your conscience, I'll teach you my ways.
I take kids from parents, and parents from kids,
I turn people from God, and seperate friends.
I'll take everything from you, your looks and your pride,
I'll be with you always-right by your side.
You'll give up everything-your family, your home,
Your friends, your money, then you'll be alone.
I'll take and take, till you have nothing more to give,
When Im finished with you, you'll be lucky to live.
If you try me be warned-this is NO game,
If given the chance, I'll drive you insane.
I'll ravish your body, I'll controll your mind,
I'll own you completely, your soul will be mine.
The nightmares I'll give you while lying in bed,
The voices you'll hear, from inside your head.
The sweats, the shakes, the visions you'll see,
I want you to know, these are all gifts from me.
But then its too late, and you'll know in your heart,
That you are mine, and we shall not part.
You'll regret that you tried me, they always do,
But you came to me, not I to you.
You knew this would happen, many times you were told,
But you challenged my power, and chose to be bold.
You could have said NO, and just walked away,
If you could live that day over, now what would you say?
I'll be you master, you will be my slave,
I'll even go with you, when you go to your grave.
Now that you have met me, what will you do?
Will you try me or not?? Its all up to you.
I can bring you more misery then words can tell,
Come take my hand, let me lead you to hell.
This was written by a young Indian girl who was in jail for drug
charges, and was addicted to meth. She wrote this while in jail. As you will soon read she fully grasped the horrors of the drug, as she tells in this simple, yet profound poem. She was release from jail, but, true to her story, the drug owned her, they found her dead not long after with the needle still in her arm.

Hey Debbie, I think Suzi Blue is right, You snuck right in and we didnt welcome you here.
I have been a member here for awhile now. Thank you for the warm welcome. My daughter did read the poem, she really liked it. She also passed it around to others in the jail.
