Meth (Don'T Do Drugs Think Again!) Poem by Emilia Tejada

My name is meth
I destroy homes, I tear families apart,
I 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, or 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 is one you know best,
Im sure youve heard of me, my name is crystal meth.
My power is awesome, try me youll 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 Ill own your soul.
When I possess you, youll steal and youll lie,
You do what you have to just to get high.
The crimes youll commit for my narcotic charms,
Will be worth the pleasure youll fell in your arms.
Youll lie to your mother, youll steal from your dad,
When you see their tears, you should feel sad.
But youll forget your morals and how you were raised,
Ill be your conscience, Ill teach you my ways.
I take kids from parents, and parents from kids,
I turn people from God, and separate friends.
Ill take everything from you, your looks and your pride,
Ill be with you always right by your side.
Youll give up everything your family, your home,
Your friends, your money, then youll be alone.
Ill take and take, till you have nothing more to give,
When Im finished with you, youll be lucky to live.
If you try me be warned this is no game,
If given the chance, Ill drive you insane.
Ill ravish your body, Ill control your mind,
Ill own you completely, your soul will be mine.
The nightmares I give you while lying in bed,
The voices youll hear, from inside your head.
The sweats, the shakes, the visions youll see,
I want you to know, they are all gifts from me.
But then its too late, and youll know in your heart,
That you are mine and we shall not part.
Youll 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?
Ill be your master, you will be my slave,
Ill even go with you, when you go to your grave,
Now that you have meet me, what will you do?
Will you try me or not? Its all up to you.
