Question:

Can someone help me find this poem?

I received this poem in an email once. It's about a girl who was hooked on heroine and she wrote this poem about it while she was in jail and she died


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

This one?

I destroy homes, I tear families apart,
I 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.

Or this one:

Honey, before you start foolin' with me,
Let me tell you how it will be.
I shall succeed and make you my slave,
Those stronger than you have gone in the grave.
You think you could never become a disgrace,
Ending up addicted to poppyseed waste.
So you start inhalin' one afternoon,
But into your veins I'll go very soon.
And once I have entered into your veins,
The craving for me will drive you insane.
You'll beg, you'll steal for narcotic charm,
Only content when I'm in your arm.
You'll sell your own body just for a buck,
And turn into something vile and corrupt.
And one day you'll realize the monster you've grown,
And solemnly swear to leave me alone.
If you think you can master this mystical knack,
Sweetie...try getting me offof your back.
You'll vomit, you'll cramp, you'll tie in a knot,
Jangling, your nerves will scream for a shot.
The hot chills, the cold sweats,the withdrawl pains,
Can only be stopped by those little white grains.
There's no other way, and no need to look,
Deep down inside... you know you are hooked.
I warn you ahead, so if you should start,
It says in the contract,"Till Death Do Us Part!"
