My Name Is Crystal Poem by Mimie Durand

I destroy families
I take their homes
And tear their hearts apart
I leave them homeless without conscience
And that’s just the start.
____________
They yearn for my high
I am easily found
I’m next door and in schools and in your home town
I'll be their secret friend
I’ll not make a sound.
____________
When I'm no where around
I'll make them beg
I'll make them steal
Without me they're nothing
There will be no appeal.
_____________
Depressed without me
I give them false hope
If they visit me once, I may let them escape
Visit me again-
Their life I’ll reshape.
_____________
I'll be their whole life
Now they're my slave
And when I'm finished
I may send them to their grave.
____________
Do you know my name?
Let me introduce myself
My name is Crystal Meth
Methamphetamine.
