All Parents & Teens: Please Read! / Mum Beetham (Mother)
Although our Michael didn't take the particular drug mentioned in the poem, I believe it is still relevant. Drugs in all forms can take hold of our children in this way, so please read.
I realise this is not a tribute or condolence, however this was the only place I felt it fit.
If Only Our Kids Realised This:
"I AM CRYSTAL METH "
This was written by a young girl who was in jail for drug charges, and was addicted to crystal meth. She wrote this while in jail. As you will soon read, she fully grasped the horrors of the drug, as she tells in this simple, yet profound poem. She was released from jail, but true to her story, the drug owned her.
Please keep praying for our children, teens, young adults. Understand, this thing is far worse than any of us realize...My Name: "Is TICK"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 schools and in towns
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 theres 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 Ill 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 you'll see
I want you to know these are all gifts from me
But then its 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? Its all up to you
I can show you more misery than words can tell
Come take my hand, let me lead you to Hell ! ! !
Thank You to this very brave soul for describing exactly what drugs will do to our loved ones.
