This poem is from my sister Lindsey who is in jail waiting to be sentenced for her repeated Meth use My name is Meth I destroy homes, I tear families apart, take your children and that's just the start I'm more costly 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 town I live with the rich, and I live with the poor I live down the street, maybe next door I'm made in a lab but not like you think I can be made under the kitchen sink In your child's closet, and even in the woods If this scares you to death, well it certainly should I'm sure you have heard of me my name is crystal meth My power is awesome, try me you'll see But if you do you'll never break free Just try me once, and I might let you go But try me twice and I'll own your soul When I possess you, you'll steal and you'll lie You'll do whatever you have to just to get high The crimes you'll commit for my narcotic charms Will be worth the pleasure you'll feel in the veins of your arms You'll lie to your Mom, and steal from your Dad When you see their tears, you should feel sad But you'll forget your morals and how you were raised I'll be your conscience, and I'll teach you my ways I take kids from parents, and parents from kids I turn people from God, and 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 friends your money then you'll be completely alone I'll take and I'll take until you have nothing more to give When I'm finished with you you'll be lucky to live If you try me be warned this is no game If given the chance I'll drive you insane I'll ravish your body I'll control your mind I'll own you completely your soul will be mine The nightmares I'll give you while lying in bed The voices you'll hear from inside your head The sweats the shakes the visions you'll see I want to you to know these are gifts from me But then it's to late and you'll know in your heart That you are mine and we shall not part You'll regret you tried me they always do But you came to me NOT I to you You knew this would happen many times you were told But you challenged my powers you chose to be bold You could have said no and just walked away If you could live that day over, now what would you say? I'll be your master and you will be my slave I'll even go with you when you go to your grave Now that you have met me, what will you do Will you try me or not, it's all up to you I can bring you more misery than words can tell Come take my hand, let me lead you to hell

This was written by my sister Lindsey she has been a drug addict for 20 years!!! She was a beautiful bright young girl. This evil drug with the name of Meth stole my sister from me. This is her life in her words. Please make sure you can get this poem she wrote out, this is her living nightmare, she has lost her whole adult life to this drug. Lindsey started using drugs at the age of 13. She will be 33 on the 11th of August. Please let everyone know this is not just some poem, this is exactly what Meth does to you, it has destroyed her. Hopefully others can read this, and it will scare them away from ever wanting to try this evil, horrible drug. We have not given up on my sister Lindsey, but unfortunately this evil drug just may take her from us forever!! Thank you for allowing me to share this
