Meth Poem | The Cat in the Sack

This Meth Poem was penned – or should I say posted by Danimal55 (KCI screen name) in memory of a beloved friend Lori Haggerman, who passed away due to an overdose on meth.

Thank you Danimal for allowing me to re-post your poem.

The Cat in the Sack

My name is meth and I’ve come to your town
You know who I am, you’ve seen me around

The Earth did’nt make me I’m a product of man
Who’d like to make money….. however he can

I’ll tempt you, I’ll seduce you, I’ll arouse curiosity
And the door will swing open to join this atrocity

All that it takes is just one little sniff
And you’re well on your way…… to being a stiff

I’ll take the smile off your face and make sores in it’s place
I’ll take all that’s yours….. in trade for disgrace

I’ll make you so thin that you’ll look like Twiggy
You’ll behave most strangely and act really wiggy

Now come a little closer, be a part of my lie
Let me fool you and trick you… ’til you just want to die

Whatever you’ve got I will take as you rot
You might think this is bull, I assure you it’s not

Your family, your friends, your Mom and your Dad
They will all fade away…. to become those that you had

You’ll hate those you love and love what you hate
But don’t worry about that ’cause I’ll be your date

You’ll do what you can to make your next deal
Whatever it takes…. you’ll lie cheat and steal

The spouse, the house, the dog and the truck
They will all have to go….. for with me you are stuck

So tell me, I’m puzzled, I don’t understand
Why people like you put their heads in the sand?

Don’t you know that you’re one of a kind?
There’s no one else out there like you I can find

Why can’t you be happy inside your own skin?
Why do you change this creation you’ve been?

Is the wonder and magic of life not enough
That you’d give it all up for this nasty stuff?

And don’t forget all the hearts you will break
If you choose to go out and make this mistake

Now ask this question… just one last time
“Do I want to be…. what I hear in this rhyme?”

What do you think? have I yet said enough?
Do you think you will turn and run from this stuff?

OK! enough of this crazed psycho babble
But tell me, I wonder…. do you still want to dabble?

If you say yes you won’t really be phat
You’ll be a loser like me……

Tha Cat in the Sack

I asked Danimal for more information about the dear friend that was lost that day. The following is what Danimal shared with me:

Lori was 44 when she killed herself with a massive injection of ICE, she was a career opiate/benzo addict who had only been into meth for a few short months.

Ironically she came to this small and isolated community to “clean up”.

So much for the “geographical”.

Her family was emotionally unfit to clean our her apt. so two friends and I did it for them.

I found a hand written note, her last communication, that she left on the coffee table where she was found dead.

It said…
“give my stuffed animals and bears to Mom, sell my clothes, I want lots of flowers at my funeral”

An ambulance followed me 20 mi. to town that morning, I had no idea it was carrying my dear, and very dead,friend Lori.

Rest in Peace Lori. Your light has not been extinguished so long as this poem and your story exist to share with others the truth about this horrible drug.

      Wow, ice/piss………………..wierd how the 2 kinda go together, kind of like “icedpiss”! You see thats all of our point, METH does that to us, it gives us an uncaring ice cold heart and a pissed off attitude….I wonder if your Family member was dead or dying from this stuff would you behave so uncaring as you are now? Yeah, maybe so, I've been there. And I pray that God brings the hottest TORCH upon your life to melt that ICE COLD PISS that has frozen your soul, try what we have for 14 days, thats how long it takes to break any habit, and do it NOT in the jails or hospitals where alot people HAVE to NOT do it, but in the streets where you live and I know you will see life once again as clean, fun loving and healthy… You too “ice and piss can start enjoying life with a glass of cold tea instead of ICEDPISS, TRULY I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT!

      I just wanted to say I really liked what I read on your site. I'm losing my husband to meth as we speak. In 2003, he went to prison for 4.5 yrs because he was cooking meth on a city street on a Sunday afternoon. He got out in April of '07, and he made it sober for about 4 mo. Now, he's right back at it and dare I say it, but it's as bad as it ever was. He no longer lives with me, and I rarely see him although he professes to love me. He looks like crap. He has so many wrinkles he didn't have just 6 mo. ago. He's taking really, really stupid chances with the law, and I'm sure he will be back in prison before he even gets off parole. He recently has started hanging out with this young girl (19y and he's 46) all the time and every time I do get to spend time with him, he's burning porn DVDs, and they're always the ones that feature the “Barely 18″ year old girls. THAT cracks me up because with all the meth, he can go for ever without getting off, but it's only about half an erection and most of the time, he just doesn't get off because he can't breathe well enough to do it for that long. I know I'm losing him, but I can't do anything about it because you can't even talk to him he's so agitated. I just got my nursing degree, and I know he could make me lose it all so I really need to cut my losses and ditch him, but I really do love him and hate to just turn my back on him in his hour of need. The problem is HE LIKES IT. He likes the taste, the buzz, and most importantly he loves the power it gives him because he knows how to cook and others don't. I wish there was something I could do, but I'm really at a loss. Why don't they let you commit somebody anymore? I have him committed if I could.

    • Hayley

      I know how you feel my dad is a really good man deep inside but im like you it's hard to ditch them and forget about him.My dad has sores all over his body that he picks at and its disgusting.My dad will tell me that he loves me but how can he say that when he wont speak to me or come around.He has been on meth ever since he was 15 thanks to his mom.He is now 35!And still using he is losing so much weight he looks nasty.But my dad has never been in jail or prison because of it.

      This poem is so true it’s scary… trust me, I’ve been in the dope game before, i’m lucky I got out so fast… this stuff truly does ruin people, good people, who could have been something someday… The drug isnt that great, yu realize it after yu get off it… it’s good the first time, that’s the best it’ll ever make yu feel, it’s all down hill from there. >.<
