What They Can Do Poem by Maddie 'Rae' Berry

The drugs I’m told are forbidden and dangerous.
But as usual I was quite precarious as to the excrescency
behind those small, white pills.
Looking at them even now sends those cold chills, up to the top of my spine.
The feeling of dread creeps in, in to my soul.
Yet I don't care.
It’s like my feelings quickly expel, due to the pills sending their magical spell.
In to the intercity of my young mind, making common sense hard to find
That one pill won't bind me I haven't got all eternity

6 months on
I should have stayed strong but the force strung me on,
I knew what they could do and who I would turn in to.
But I couldn’t except that it was true.
Sure enough these things do happen, I was forever taken
In to another version of heaven and hell, my mind not fairing up as well
I lost my friends due to my new hostility,
because they could not except the new me.
And why would they when I treated them so badly?
Or so I’m told

Practically everything has become a haze, that’s what you get for joining the latest craze
So listen now, and listen well to what little I have to say...
Drugs, no matter what substance,
will ruin your resistance and forever change your existence.
