This is a true happening. A 21 year old female was addicted to crystal meth, overdosed and lost her life.

After her death, they were cleaning out her apartment and in her top dresser drawer, found a poem that she had written.

Meet Mr. and Mrs. Crystal Meth.

I destroy homes. I tear families apart. I take your children and that痴 just a start.

I知 more valued than diamonds, more precious than gold. The sorrow I bring is a sight to behold.

If you need me, remember, I知 easily found. I live all around you, in school and in town.

I live with the rich. I live with the poor. I live just down the street and maybe next door.

I知 made in a lab, but not one like you think. I can be made under the kitchen sink.

In your child痴 closet, and even out in the woods. If this scares you to death, then it certainly should

I have many names but there痴 one you値l know best. I知 sure you致e heard of me, my name is Crystal Meth.

My power is awesome, try me, you値l see. But if you do, you may never break free.

Just try me once and I might let you go. But if you try me twice, then I値l own your soul.

When I possess you, you値l steal and you値l lie. You値l do what you have to do, just to get high.

The crimes you commit on my narcotic charms. Will be worth the pleasures you feel in my arms.

You値l lie to your mother, you値l steal from your dad. When you see their tears, you must feel sad.

Just forget your morals and how you were raised. I値l be your conscience, I値l teach you my ways.

I take kids from their parents, I take parents from their kids. I turn people from God. I separate friends.

I値l take everything from you, your looks and your pride.

I値l be with you always, right by your side.

You値l give up everything, your family, your home, your money, your true friend, then you値l be alone.

I値l take and take till you have no more to give. When I finish with you, you値l be lucky to live.

If you try me, be warned, this is not a game. If I知 given the chance, I値l drive you insane.

I値l ravage your body, I値l control your mind. I値l own you completely, your soul will be mine.

The nightmares I値l give you when you池e lying in bed. And the voices you値l hear from inside your head.

The sweats, the shakes, and the visions from me. I want you to know these things are gifts from me.

By then it痴 too late, and you値l know in your heart that you are now mine and we shall not part.

You値l 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致e been told. But you challenged my power, you chose to be bold.

You could have said no and then walked away. If you could live that day over now, what would you say?

My power is awesome, as I told you before. I can take your life and make it so dim and sore.

I値l be your master and you値l be my slave. I値l even go with you when you got to your grave.

Now that you致e met me, what will you do? Will you try me or not? It痴 all up to you.

I can show you more misery than words can tell. Come take my hand, let me lead you to hell.
