My names Crystal Meth!

Ms Wilson showed us this poem a while ago in class...

Hello, My Friend
I destroy homes. I tear families apart.I take children and that’s just a start.I’m more valued 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 school and in town.I live with the rich, I live with the poor.I live just down the street, and maybe next door.I’m made in a lab, but not one like you think.I can be made under the kitchen sink, or in yourChild’s closet, even out in the woods.If this scares you to death, it certainly should.I have many names, but there’s one you’ll know best.I’m sure you’ve heard of me. My name’s Crystal Meth.My power is awesome. Try me. You’ll see.But if you do, you may never break free.Just try me once, I might let you go.Try me twice and I’ll own your soul.When I possess you, you’ll steal and you’ll lie.You’ll do what you have to, just to get high. The crimes you’ll commit for my narcotic charmsWill be worth the pleasure you’ll feel in my arms.You’ll lie to your mother, you’ll steal from your dad.When you see their tear, you must not feel sad.Just forget your morals, and how you were raised.I’ll be your conscience. I’ll teach you my ways.I take kids from parents. I take parents from kids.I turn people from God. I separate friends.I’ll take everything from you, even your good looks andPride. I’ll be with you always, right by your side.You’ll give up everything. Your family, your home.Your money, your friends, you’ll be all alone.I’ll take and I’ll take till you’ve no more to give.When I finish with you, you’ll be lucky to live.If you try me, be warned. THIS IS NOT A GAME.If I’m given the chance, I’ll drive you insane.I’ll ravage your body. I’ll control your mind.I’ll own you completely. Your soul will be MINE.The nightmares I’ll five you when you’re lying in bed,And the voices you hear from inside your head.The shakes, the sweats, and the visions you’ll see. I want you to know, these are your gifts from me.By then it’s too late, and you’ll know in your heart, That you are now mine, and we shall not part.You’ll regret that you tried me. They always do.But you came to me. Not I to you.You knew this would happen. How many times were you told?But you challenged my power. You chose to be bold.You could have said “no” and just walked away.If you could live over, now what would you say?My power is awesome, as I told you before.I can take your mother and turn her into a whore.I’ll be your master, you’ll do as I say, Even when I tell you to go to your grave.Now that you’ve met me, what will you do?Will you try me or not? It’s all up to you.I can show you more misery than words can tell.Come, take my hand. Let me lead you to hell.


One of the things I am most strongly against is drugs and smoking! I hate the fact that people screw up their lives by doing it. I mean, you only get one life right? So why screw it up? Maybe people do it becuase they arent having a very good time so they use it to get away from things or maybe they just think its cool? In my opinion there is absolutly no excuse for doing drugs! Even if you say... Im just going to try it once... Thats how so many people get addicted. This is a very powerful poem. The last line is so strong and it really makes you think... "Come take my hand let me lead you to hell". Thats what drugs do to you! So many people are told of what will happen to them if the take drugs and what they will become... So why do they still do it? Its just plain stupid. And for everyone out there that is taking drugs for what ever reason... "If you could live over, what would you say?" Dont let it ruin your life!
