Meth Poem: My Friend They Call Meth

Just as a disclaimer, I don’t normally post pro-meth articles. This poem however was submitted by a visitor to my blog and I debated as to whether or not to post it. There are two sides to every story and while I do not at all condone using meth, nor do I think one can use it over many years without adverse effects, this poem attempts to prove me wrong. So, I will leave it to you, my faithful readers to give your feedback:

My Friend They Call Meth

I’ve read all these poems about the one they call meth.

I must say something, so I think I’ll confess.

It is enemies to them but for me not so much.

I seem to get along with meth, Ice, shake, and such.

I’m not saying that meth has always treated me fine.

But I can say it’s been a better friend than some family members of mine.

Sure it can ruin your life and take your soul.

But only if you let it get out of control.

I’ve been with you when your producing that smell.

And you’ve only one time landed me in jail.

When I had no one, you were there by my side.

Keeping me company and my mind occupied.

I still have my teeth, my looks, and my friends.

I still have my kids, my wife, and my grin.

So to all you meth poets with lifes such a mess.

who were to weak to live a life with a friend called meth.

I’ve took it, I’ve cooked, I’ve shook it and more.

I’m a 15yr. friend with the one who made your mother a whore.

I would never encourage anyone to get high.

I’m just sayin I’m ok, I’ve done it half my life.

And sure I’ve hit bottom trading everything I owned.

I even packed a duffle bag around cause I called that home.

So to all those who have fallen from the top.

Were takin by greed cause they didn’t know when to stop.

So I guess that’s it, this is the end.

My life is just fine with meth as my friend.

 

What do you think? Do you think you can live a “normal” life using meth? I personally think this poem illustrates several good reasons NOT to use meth. What do you think?

       I relate to it. I’m 20 years old and been doing meth for a year and I haven’t hit rock bottom. The only problems I had was the hallucinations from the drawbacks but other than that I snort it and take it orally a couple times a week.

      p.s. My nose is fucked up. You can’t get a new nose ..

      Everyone handles addiction differently.Personally I do not agree with this poem because of the health effects of it that your body will eventually reveal. I was addicted for almost three years. Started when I was 17 years old. I was SICK, and so is everyone else who uses it. Almost the entire time I weighed in between 68 and 74 lbs… I am 5’4″. Ive been sober for over two years now. Im doing better than ever. I agree with some of the feelings this writer has about it being a better friend than your family, ect. But think about what kind of future you are setting in place for your children. I pray for your wellness. This drug IS THE DEVIL HIMSELF!!!

      It not only ruins the life of the user, but their friends and families too. When someone is hooked, the meth is their only “love”. Period. So not only is this poem just complete crap, but it is also inconsiderate.

      Definitely not a good friend should be your enemy. A friend doesn’t hurt you and the ones who love you. A friend shouldn’t take you away from reality but help you deal with it. Rather than avoiding it. A Friend does not want your life to hit rock bottom! A Friend wants you happy not miserable. A Friend wants the best for you. It hurts to see someone deeply in denial. I’m sorry if life hits you in the face and you can’t handle it. But this drug is man made, is only here to hurt you more. Sooner or later your going to have to face LIFE. I know its hard but don’t give up on yourself. Someone’s out there for you. Its never to late to change. And to experience life without a harmful substance like Meth.
