I AM METH


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.

If you didn't write it, you should credit it accordingly. Also, I'm not sure of how much of a 'realistic' depiction of meth this is. It doesn't reflect my experiences with the drug (which amazingly didn't ruin my life!).

Also I don't think it's very well written. They rhyming style is like Dr Suess and the entire poem consists of basically a list of everything that can potentially go wrong when you are an irresponsible drug user. Meth isn't the devil. It's a drug that requires a certain level of maturity, stability and will power.

I'm kind of sick of people blaming drugs for their problems.

It's like blaming guns for murder.
 
This is an extremely elementary attempt at conveying emotion. It feels incredibly forced and shallow, not to mention the criticisms launched by the poster above me about people blaming drugs for their problems.
 
do you know how many fucking times i've had to listen to that poem?
i don't know either.

they read it like every day in the inpatient (and outpatient) rehab i went too, its not even that great. :|

and its demonizing it more then it needs to be, basically propaganda imo.
i wouldn't be surprised if it was originally written for marijuana.
 
I liked this,

Deceased i know your frustration but this is someones experiance and outlet :)
 
This is an uncredited work that someone has posted, leading a couple of people (such as yourself) to assume that they wrote it - despite the fact that the OP admits that he's never even tried meth.

I don't think it is at all productive for non-users to parrot propaganda-like anti drug bullshit. I haven't encountered this in rehab (never been) but it sounds like the sort of shit that they would try to brainwash you with. It reminds me of the films they showed me when I was forced to do a 'responsible drinking' course.

I take kids from parents, and parents from kids

This (a long with many other lines throughout the poem) justify and enable the actions of irresponsible drug users.

The meth took the kids. It wasn't the parents fault for choosing the drug over their family. No! They didn't have a choice, right?

Like Alcoholics Anonymous convincing all of their members that they are incapable of controlling themselves, this exaggeration makes the addiction seem more difficult to overcome than it actually is.

There have been more lies spread about drug use than practically anything else. Non-users don't understand the reality of drugs because they've never experienced them. All they see are things like this, perpetuating the myth that drug use is hell and that negative consequences are always inevitable.

this is someones experiance

I doubt it. But if it is, the writer is basically justifying everything that they did while under the influence by blaming it on the evil drug that was controlling them. The writer doesn't take any responsibility for anything.

He/She is not a bad parent/ criminal/ low-life.

Just a victim.



Fuck this poem.

Don't try meth if you have a really addictive personality and are lacking stability in your life. You know who you are. The ones ruining it for the rest of us.

If you have children to look after, then fucking withdraw and get your priorities in check.

It'll be hard, but if you really love your children you will manage.

Drugs are no excuse for bad parenting.

Meth is fun.

I was just thinking of this propaganda piece.

Uh no... most of the United States has technically taken meth. How so? The Vicks Inhaler in the states is none other than levo-methamphetamine.


Recreational meth is usually dextro-methamphetamine (sometimes racemic)

Those are the two sides of this much misunderstood substance.

American “Vick’s inhaler” is just as much methamphetamine as the meth you smoke in a pipe.

As for d-meth? It might have saved my life in a weird way because it cured my deep depression when psych meds failed.

Nerdy stuff has never been so exhilarating. What a wonderful study drug.
