BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE
The poem below was
written by a girl who was involved in drugs. It was because of drugs that she
was jailed.
She was addicted to
meth. In jail, she wrote the poem below. It is said that even after she was
freed from being jailed, she couldn't free herself from the drugs. According to
the posts that has been spreading around the internet, she was found dead shortly
after her release from the jail. A needle was still in her arm during the
occurrence.
I believe that we can
all learn something from the poem.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I AM 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, 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,
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.
