Meth
I AM METH"
>
> (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 released 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.

>
> Please keep praying for our Children, Teens, Young adults.
> Understand, this thing is worse than any of us realize...

> My Name: "Is Meth"

>
> I destroy homes, I tear families apart,
> take your children, and that's just the start.
> I'm more costly than diamonds, more precious than gold,

> The sorrow I bring is a sight to behold.
> If you need me, remember I'm 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.
> I'm made in a lab, but not like you think,
> I can be made under the kitchen sink.
> In your child's 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,
> I'm 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 you'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,
> I'll be your conscience, I'll teach you my ways.
> I take kids from parents, and parents from kids,
> I turn people from God, and separate 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, and then you'll be alone.
> I'll take and take, till you have nothing more to give,
> When I'm 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 control 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, and the visions you'll see,
> I want you to know, these are all gifts from me.
> But then it's 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 your 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? It's all up to you.
> I can bring you more misery than words can tell,
> Come take my hand, let me lead you to hell.
>
