I AM CRYSTAL 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; 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, 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 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 is 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.

    After having done speed for about six years, I bought a shotgun and was going to off myself. The voices inside my head had driven me completely insane. I ended up trading the gun for an eight ball. I finally got away from the shit. I don’t take it anymore…but I still want it.

    Uhhhhh…. meth is not a “narcotic.” Check a dictionary for more information on the word “narcotic.”

    Done crystal for 13 years since ’96 everyday – bar the odd month or two when I took a break for my nostrils mainly. Been employed for 15 years with the same company, own a house. Never found the need to fuck anyone over for my habit. Life is great, but it’s fucking amazing on crystal. Long live tweaking!!! Anthem – Deuces by the best band on the planet – Achozen!!

    i decided, just once, and that was almost the begining of the end for me. It had devasting effects on me and now 1 year later i have not ysed it again, but still think of it nearly every day of my life. It scares me to think that i might land up in company that is using it and will not be able to say no.

    I am a white female in my 40′s and got mixed up in the gang world of Parows street in Cape Town.If i did not break away when i did, i shudder to think of wher i would be now. Would like to get to know people in Joburg with similiar experience.

    Thank you for replying, it makes me feel less lonely in this world of addiction, although i am not using now, i know i am still an addict.

    i just found out that my 16 year old cousin was caught using TIK, i really want to help her. is it possible to stop using? what does a person need in order to stop? how does a person get involved with this? what can i do to help? i’ve helped friends get off ecstasy and coke in very unconventional methods but i know for a fact that meth is another cake entirely and i’m really scared. for her… and for myself, i used to abuse drugs and alcohol but i managed to stop, but i know that she isn’t me and she is going to need serious help and i just want to offer any support i can and to help her back up. i haven’t seen her in ten years and with all this it was me that she asked for. Can i handle something like this?

    @LAW
    Hell shit is a lame description for IT, I did it for a year and have been clean for 18 months now, but every now and then I crave so badly that all I want to do is go out there and use. Besides wrecking my health, my 10yr old had to suffer through my addiction and moods and I nearly lost him. Being a single mom I decided to quit, but every time I just seem to act a little weird I see the fear in his eyes and the big Question, and need to reasure him I am okay.

    I read this poem b4 i was busted… Not knowing that what i thought to be just weed, was laced with meth… As soon as I heard the word “meth” come from the cops mouth my heart dropped, thats all it took and i’m even dun smokin weed! The poem helps alot if u even agree or not addicts know it does but meth has already taken over them and their scared to admit that its all true! Please be carful, and think twice b4 even smoking! :)
