Crystal Meth

You may or may not know me.  I destroy homes.  I tear families apart.  I’ll take your children and that is just the start.  I’m more precious than diamonds, more valued than gold.  The sorrows I bring are a sight to behold.

If you need me, remember, I’m easily found.  I’m all around you, in every city and every town.  I live with the rich.  I live with the poor.  I live down the street, even next door.

I’m made in a lab, just not the kind you think.  I can be made under your kitchen sink.  I can be made in the closet or in the woods.  If this doesn’t scare you to death it certainly should.

I have many names but the one you’d know best, the one that spells death, my name is crystal meth.

My powers are awesome, just try me and see.  Try me twice and your soul will belong to me.  Once I possess you, you’ll steal and you’ll lie.  You do what it takes just to get high.  The crime committed for the high and the fame will be worth millions when I get in your veins.

You’ll lie to your mom and steal from your dad, and when you see their tears you won’t even be sad.  You will forget your morals and how you were raised.  Once I teach you my worthless ways.

I’ll take your friends, your control and your pride.  But I’ll always be with you, right by your side.  You’ll give up your friends, your family, and your home and when I run out, you’ll be alone.

I’ll take and I’ll take until there’s nothing to give.  And when I’m through, you’ll be lucky to live.

You can try me for fun, but I am no game.  Given the chance, I’ll drive you insane.  I’ll give you nightmares while you lie sweating in bed. I’ll be the evil voice inside your head.

You shouldn’t have tried me, how many times were you told.  You challenged my power, how could you have been so bold?  You could have said no, and just walked away.  If you could do it all over again, what would you say?

I’ll be your master; you’ll be my slave.  Don’t fear being lonely, I will walk with you to your grave.  I’ll show you more pain than your deepest betrayal.  So come take my hand as I lead you to hell.

This is my story.  I AM CRYSTAL METH...
