My Name is Meth
- by an anonymous author
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; I 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 go, |
| But try me twice, and I'll own your soul. |
| When I possess you, you'll steal and you'll lie, |
| You do what you have to — just to get high. |
| The crimes you'll commit for my narcotic charms |
| Will be worth the pleasure you'll feel in your arms. |
| 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 home, |
| Your friends, your money, then you'll be alone. |
| I'll take and take, till you have nothing more to give, |
| When 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, I'll drive you insane. |
| I'll ravish your body, I'll control your mind, |
| I'll own you completely, your soul will be mine. |
| The nightmares I'll give you while lying in bed, |
| The voices you'll hear, from inside your head. |
| The sweats, the shakes, the visions you'll see, |
| I want you to know, these are all gifts from me. |
| But then it's too late, and you'll know in your heart, |
| That you are 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, many times you were told, |
| But you challenged my power, and chose to be bold. |
| You could have said no, and just walked away, |
| If you could live that day over, now what would you say? |
| I'll be your master, you will be my slave, |
| I'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 all up to you. |
| I can bring you more misery than words can tell, |
| Come take my hand, let me lead you to Hell. |
