You know I destroy homes, I tear families apart,
I'll take your children, and that just the start
I'm more costly than diamonds, more precious than gold,
The sorrow I bring you will leave you cold.
If you need me, remember I'm easily found,
I live all around you, in your schools and your towns.
I live with the rich; I live with the poor,
I live down the street, and maybe next door.....
My name is Meth, Crystal Meth

I'm made in a lab, but not like you think
I can be made under the kitchen sink.
In your child's closet, even in the woods,
If this scares you to death, well maybe it should.
I have many names, but there's one you know best,
I'm sure you've heard of me.....................
My name is Meth. Crystal Meth
My power is awesome; try me you'll see,
But if you do, you may never break free.
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'll do what you have to ...just to get high......
My name is Meth, Crystal Meth

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 all you have, your looks and your pride,
I'll be with you always, right by your side........
My name is Meth, Crystal Meth.

You'll give up everything, your family, your home,
Your friends, your money, then you'll be alone.
I'll take and I'll take, till you've nothing to give,
When I'm finished with you, you'll be lucky to live.
If you try me be warned, this is no silly game,
If given the chance, I'll drive you insane.
I'll ravish hour 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, they're all gifts from me.
But then it's too late, and you'll know in your heart,
That you are mine, and we will never part...........
My name is Meth, Crystal Meth.

You'll regret that you tried me they always do,
But you came to me, and not I to you.
You knew this would happen, many time 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?
Now I'll be your master, and you'll 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......
My name is Meth, Crystal Meth.

The first time i read this poem i was in jail and it touched me very deeply. At the time i had done meth for about 6 month and it had a hold on me that i couldnt break free of. I cried for days over that poem, it changed something inside of me because every word of it is true. meth is truely a life destoyer.
