I Am Crystal Meth

I am starting a category of meth related art and poems here. I will start with this one I got in my email quite a while ago. There are so many talented artists that have been affected by this drug – If you have any art, poems etc you would like to share, let me know!

Hello.
You may or may not know me.
I destroy homes.
I tear families apart,
I’ll take your children and that is just the start.
I’m more precious the diamonds, more valued then gold.
The sorrows I bring are a sight to behold.

If you need me I’m easily found
I’m all around you in every city and every town.
I live with the rich I live with the poor.
I live down the street even next door.

I’m made in a lab just not the kind you think,
I can be made under the kitchen sink.
I can be made in the closet or in the woods.
If this doesn’t scare you to death it certainly should.
I have many names but one you’d know best
My name is Crystal meth.

My powers are awesome just try me and see.
Try me twice and your soul will belong to me.
Once I possess you, you’ll steal and you’ll lie
You’ll do what it takes just to get high.
The crimes you’ll commit for the high and fame
Will be worth millions once I get in your veins.

You’ll lie to your mom and steal from you dad,
When you see their tears you won’t even be sad.
You’ll forget your morals and how you were raised,
Once I teach you my worthless ways.

I’ll take your friends, your control, your pride,
But I’ll always be with you right by your side.
You’ll give up your friends, your family, your home,
When you run out you’ll be all alone.
I’ll take and I’ll take till there’s nothing to give,
And when I’m through you’ll be lucky to live.

You can try me for fun but I’m no game.
Giving the chance I’ll drive you insane.
I’ll give you nightmares while you lie sweating in bed.
I’ll be the evil voices inside you head.

You shouldn’t have tried me how many times were you told?
But you challenged my powers how could you have been so bold?
You couldn’t say no, and just walked away.
If you could do it all over again what would you say?

I’ll be you master you’ll be my slave.
Don’t fear being lonely I’ll walk with you to your grave.
I’ll show you more pain then your deepest betrayal
So come take my hand as I lead you to HELL.

Written by Alicia VanDavis

Just for the record, doing meth doesn’t mean you will go to hell. I bring this up because a teenager asked me after reading this “if I do drugs will I go to hell?” and I explained from my own understanding of what the author is saying that “doing meth will make your life a living hell”. It’s a poem so it’s of course open to interpretation.

What’s your interpretation?

      I’ll take and I’ll take till your brain is completely fried,
      And when I’m through you’ll be depressed and only cry.
      You can try me for fun but I’m no game.
      Giving the chance I’ll drive you insane.

      So come, take my hand
      Or that of any CONTRABAND
      Any of us will show you more pain than your deepest betrayal
      Any of us will take your life and ensure that you fail.

    • sami

      i am a meth addict clean for six years now… this poem hits home man… and if you try it just once that may be the end of your life as you know it .. just say no!!! stay away .. it is not fun once you are too deep into it … lying stealing .. selling yourself .. not caring in and out of jail .. you do anything and everything just for that high!!! it is not worth it .. i thank the lord that he has brought through it and delivered me from it .. the years i lost because i made one bad decsion one night .. and if you have family or friend on this stuff .. help them .. pray for them .. get through to them .. do whatever you can … it is a long hard battle but it can be won!!

    • sami

      its an upper .. keeps you up for days ..no eating .. no sleeping .. it is great at first and the deeper you get into the stronger the hold it has on you .. it destroys you completely .. inside and out !!! im glad you are smart enough not to try it .. it is not worth cause it only takes one time to wreck your world…. just stay focused on christ ..

    • Gurlforfrogs

    • Maygirl197804

    • Planetwallace

      it it very true every single word.

    • Reubanks0630

      This poem hits the ball out of the park . As a recovering addict of 7 years I am sure that meth leads to one of two places, jail or hell you choose. I thank God for delivering me from the gates of hell every day. Nothing can replace a “bought lesson” but if people would realize that this poem is as close as you can come with out being there,there would be a lot less people in jail and graveyards.I was a needle junkie for over 10 years and a cook for 5 years so I can say I paid a high price for my lesson.

      Meth is a scary thing to play with. I made all forms of meth and when i was 22 i made a stupid choice in releasing gas (NaoH5) to quickly and mixing flames. I blew myself through the wall, i was a beautiful girl absolutely beautiful!! and all that is taken away from me. i would have been killed if there was no Plexiglas between me and the explosion. IF YOU DO METH, PLEASE SEEK HELP AND DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CREATE METH. Meth will mess you up, when u look at the faces of meth users.. they all have one thing in common, their face is all scabby. You get the feeling that little bugs are all over ur face crawling under your skin and you pick and scratch and cut yourself to make it stop… sadly the detox is horrible as well, but if you use you need the help. My 2 best friends and my bf at the time were all killed. I ask myself sometimes, why them? why couldent it be me that died… i would rather take their place.
      If i could take back what i have done….. i would in a heartbeat. I live day to day with melted skin all over my body.. i have no hair.. and my family wont even hang around me b/c i scare people. And the real sad part of it all; who would ever want a life with me.. im not beautiful anymore im a monster and I have to fight the feeling of wanting to kill myself, but i know if i stay alive and i speak at school to young people that i can change a life.
      To whoever reads this… know that your life and the life of others is more important than a substance… dont through your life away. You could end up like me one day.

      The first time I seen this poem it was in the handwriting of Alicia VanDavis who was supposed to have passed away from her addiction. A girl who said she was her friend brought it to me an we spread it to all our friends on the net. She too had just gotten out of jail.

      yes this is a poem and it is soooo very true but if i can please tell you that the Bible says that we must serve a master. We can not serve two masters, we must love one and hate the other. If we do not serve God we serve satan. Those are the two masters which we must pick from. wheather we want to believe it or not we are either going to go to heaven or hell. If we do not serve God we are serving satan, and if we serve satan than God will cut us off and throw us into the lake of fire. Before we are saved we are walking in darkness because God is love, joy, peace, meekness and long suffering  it is not anger envy, hate or rage. God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have ever lasting life john 3 16. We have to be careful because it is sooo easy to get caught up. The bible also says that people will know us by the fruits that we bare. if we are living our lives to show people God’s love and allow people to see the light of jesus in us we are baring good fruits but if we are living of the world  and doing the things that are not of God we are baring bad fruits. If we are baring bad fruits  we are going to get cut off and thrown into the lake of fire. Doing drugs and drinking to be drunken  cuz it says in the bible dont drink to be drunken, hating people envying people all that is not of God, God said if we dont have love we don’t have nothing. Sooo if we are doing drugs and the things of the world we are serving satan and if we are serving satan we are against God and if we are against God we will go to HELL. Please we cannot  sit here and think that we can do drugs and still go to heaven. we need to be careful, God is the truth the way and the life. God is a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path. The bible says that noone comes to the father except through the son, sooo the bible also says come to me who are heavy ladon and i will give you rest. Just because we do drugs doesn’t mean that we will not be forgiven. If we confess with our mouths we will be forgiven and we will be washed white as snow. once we ask for forgiveness the bible says that our sins are thrown in to the sea of forgetfullness and are remembered no more. the bible says that every knee shall bow and every tounge confess that he is God. please before its too late we all need to get right with GOD.  Forgive me if i have offended anyone but I love you all and God bless you all. IF you have never recieved Jesus christ in your heart as your lord and savior  and you want to just says this sinners prayer and you will be born again and made new. SAY THIS PRAYER WITH ME
      JESUS I KNOW THAT YOU ARE THE SON OF GOD AND THAT YOU DIED ON THE CROSS FOR MY SINS. I  ASK YOU JESUS TO PLEASE COME INTO MY LIFE AND IN MY HEART AS MY LORD AND SAVIOUR AND TO PLEASE HELP ME. I ASK THAT YOU FORGIVE ME OF ALL MY SINS LORD AND FORGIVE ME FOR EVERYTHING THAT I EVER SAID DID OR THOUGHT THAT WAS NOT OF YOU. LORD I ASK THAT YOU HELP ME TO BECOME A BETTER PERSON IN YOU JESUS. LORD BE THE LAMP UNTO MY FEET AND HELP ME TO WALK IN YOUR LIGHT AND NOT IN DARKNESS NO MORE. I LOVE YOU JESUS AND THANKYOU. IN THE NAME OF JESUS I PRAY THIS . AMEN. WELL IF YOU PRAYED THAT YOU ARE BORN AGAIN AND WELCOME TO THE FAMILY OF CHRIST. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
      IF YOU NEED ME OR JUST WANT TO TALK MY NAME IS LAINA
      AND MY NUMBER IS  850 288 9900
      CALL ME ANYTIME
      GOD BLESS YOU

      this version of the poem was ALMOST correct word for word except a few minor spots. The author of this poem actually was a young girl who (as a meth addict) was spending time in jail. While in jail she wrote this poem. And true to her words at the end.. she died only a few weeks after being released from jail she still had the needle stuck in her arm. I think she was in her early 20′s but dont quote me on that cuz im not posative.

      Sometimes the only way out is to stay all the way in. For women in can be harder specially when your facing it all with a one women army.

      ive lost my kids because of the stuff. they have been gone for a year. they were placed back in my home in december i had to relaspe and was honest about them and the same date that they were removed last year they were removed this year. Feb 21st. worst day of my life because i thought my babies are something that no one could ever take away from me oh was i wrong. now im getting my better since the relaspe i have to give 30 days clean screens and i get weekend visits back and then another 30 days after that they will be placed back in my home. my childrens ages are 11,7,6 my oldest told me that he does not trust me. it hurt but i did that now he dont want to live with me. im just hoping one day i will get his trust back. i was out there with my use cooking,banging so im very lucky to get this second chance to get my kids as crazy as i was into my addiction. i almost blew myslef up also. this stuff aint no joke. i could go on,on with some tweaked out crazy srtories and you would be like oh my god but im sure many of you can relate. i love the poems.

      I justed wanted take the time to say this poem is realky good and open alot of eyes

      By reading this it is clear why you survived and your friends didn’t.  God knew you had the strength to be about His business in keeping meth away from people.  You are like the face of meth to others, and your witnessing will keep others off meth, and at the same time, lead people to get off meth and win souls for God.  Think how good this is…you were beautiful, outside, but now you are beautiful inside.  But just think of the beauty you will save for others.  This is a great testimony to God, who saved you from certain death and damnation.  I wonder, is it possible to pray for those in hell?
