| "I AM METH" This was written by a young girl who was in jail for drug charges, and was addicted to meth. She wrote this while in jail. As you will soon read,she fully grasped the horrors of the drug,as she tells in this simple,yet profound poem. She was released from jail,but ,true to her story,the drug owned her. They found her dead not long after,with the needle still in her arm. Please keep praying for our Children,Teens,Young adults and family members! Understand, this thing is worse than any of us realize.My Name is 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; 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 goBut try me twice and I'll own your soul.When I possess you,you'll steal and you'll lieThe crimes you'll commit for my narcotic charmsWill 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 homeYour friends,your money,then you'll be alone.I'll take and take,till you have nothing more to giveWhen 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,Ill drive you insane.I'll ravish your body,I'll control your mindI'll own you completely,your soul will be mine.The nightmares I'll give you while lying in bedThe voices you'll hear,from inside your headThe swears,the shakes,the visions you'll seeI want you to know,these are all gifts from me,But then its too late,and you'll know in your heartThat you are mine,and we shall not apart.You'll regret that you tried me, they always doBut 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 holdYou could have said no,and just walk awayIf you could live that day over,now what would you sayI'll be your master,you will be my slaveI'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 up to you.I can bring you more misery than words can tell,Come take my hand,let me lead you to HELL! |

| All things considered, it's pretty creative for a penned-up-child-addict. An accurate assessment of meth on American society. However, if I chose to write a poem about meth - which is something I probably would do - I would certainly use disturbing imagery, wild language, and reference a lot of darker aspects associated with this epidemic. |

| Some people won't ever get poetry, but this may be poetry to some like the meth addict,something that they will never get, but to most people it's their worse fear, their very own words out of their mouth, but to everyone it is the truth. This poem needs to be shared, said at schools and posted on the internet for everyone to see. Words are only words, but words in the form of poetry can change lives, and free souls. |

| Simply deep. It's just amazing how the poem pulls you in from the beginning to the conclusion. Everything the poet stated about this drug was true, I mean to list facts while revealing creativity that's a talent. |
