What do you think about this poem?
I destroy homes – I tear families apart.
I take your children and that’s just a start.
I’m more valued 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 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’m made in a lab, but not one like you think.
I can be made under the kitchen sink,
In your child’s closet, and even out in the woods.
If this scares you to death, then it certainly should.
I have many names. But there’s one you’ll 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 if you try me twice, then I’ll own your soul.
When I possess you, you’ll steal and you’ll lie.
You’ll do what you have to do, just to get high.
The crimes you commit for my narcotic charms,
Will be worth the pleasures you feel in my arms.
You’ll lie to your mother; you’ll steal from your dad.
When you see their tears, you must feel sad.
Just forget your morals and how you were raised.
I’ll be your conscience, I’ll 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’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 money, your true friend, then you’ll be alone.
I’ll take and take till you have no more to give.
When I finish with you, you’ll be lucky to live.
If you try me, be warned, this is not a game.
If I’m given the chance, I’ll drive you insane.
I’ll ravage your body; I’ll control your mind.
I’ll own you completely; your soul will be mine.
The nightmares I’ll give you when you’re lying in bed,
And the voices you’ll 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.
But then it’s too late, and you’ll know in your heart
That you are now 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’ve 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’ll be your master and you’ll be my slave.
I’ll even go with you when you go to your grave.
Now that you’ve met me, what will you do?
Will you try me or not? It’s all up to you.
I can show you more misery than words can tell.
Come take my hand, let me lead you to Hell.
Just so you know I do not smoke any substances what so ever.(i really don't want to kill my brain cells!)
I have seen many cases though where this is true..

wow! That's so good! it makes me think twice about doing weed... you really should get this published, i know my health teacher would show it to her classes every year if she had it. It's so vivid, and detailed. It truly does make people open their eyes to the dangers of meth. Really great job on this.

I agree that you should get it published. It is very powerful. I like how it starts out as a mystery and then once it is revealed to be Meth, you go into the details of how it destroys. By the end I got the shivers.
It feels very true to life. It sounds like you must know someone who is on Meth. If it was you I don't think you could write like this. I'm sorry that you are dealing with this struggle. But if you can get this out into the world, you may be able to prevent others from experiencing what you are experiencing. Some cities have poetry on their buses. This would be a great poem for that program. Then so many people would see it.
Good luck with getting it published and also with whatever you are going through that inspired the poem.

Wonderful rhyme
meter reads good (I'm no meter maid)
but the message is sent Loud and Clear.
Share this, any way you can
contact magazines, your newspaper
or even, dare I say, tape it up, in public places
this should be seen by many
and if one thought is turned away from Ms. Crystal Meth....
yeah...

For me a poem has to have rhythm. It does not inevitably ought to rhyme in spite of the undeniable fact that it needs to hit my thoughts. i think of readability of expression is critical as nicely. i do no longer prefer to 2d wager what i'm analyzing approximately. I consistently seem for what I term "poetic gemstones"interior the textual content textile.
