| My name is cocaine–call me coke for short. I entered this country without a passport. Ever since then, I’ve made lots of scum rich. Some have been murdered and found in a ditch. I’m more valued than diamonds, more treasured than gold, Use me just once and you too will be sold. I’ll make a schoolboy forget his books, I’ll make a beauty queen forget her looks. I’ll take a renowned speaker and make him a bore, I’ll take your mother and make her a whore. I’ll make a preacher not want to preach. I’ll take all your rent money and you’ll be evicted. I’ll murder your babies or they’ll be born addicted. I’ll make you rob and steal and kill, When you’re under my power, you have no will. Remember, my friend, my name is “Big C”, If you try me one time you may never be free. I’ve destroyed actors, politicians and many a hero. I’ve decreased bank accounts from millions to zero. I make shooting and stabbing a common affair. Once I take charge, you won’t have a prayer. Now that you know me, what will you do? You’ll have to decide; it’s all up to you The day you agree to sit in my saddle The decision is one that no one can straddle. Listen to me, and please listen well, When you ride with cocaine, you are headed for hell! ~Author Unknown

Thankfully this is not from personal experience, I’ve just been close enough to a few people to have seen the effects….Here’s another poem I found about Crystal Meth: |
| This was written by a young girl who was in jail for drug charges, and was addicted to 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. They found her dead not long after, with the needle still in her arm.I destroy homes, I tear families apart, I take your children, and that’s just the start. I’m more costly than diamonds, more precious than gold, If you need me, remember I’m easily found, I live with the rich, I live with the poor, I’m made in a lab, but not like you think, In your child’s closet, and even in the woods, I have many names, but there’s one you know best, My power is awesome, try me you’ll see, Just try me once and I might let you go, When I possess you, you’ll steal and you’ll lie, The crimes you’ll commit for my narcotic charms You’ll lie to your mother, you’ll steal from your dad, But you’ll forget your morals and how you were raised, I take kids from parents, and parents from kids, I’ll take everything from you, your looks and your pride, You’ll give up everything – your family, your home, I’ll take and take, till you have nothing more to give, If you try me be warned – this is no game, I’ll ravish your body, I’ll control your mind, The nightmares I’ll give you while lying in bed, The sweats, the shakes, the visions you’ll see, But then it’s too late, and you’ll know in your heart, You’ll regret that you tried me, they always do. You knew this would happen, many times you were told, You could have said no, and just walked away, I’ll be your master, you will be my slave, Now that you have met me, what will you do? I can bring you more misery than words can tell, Judy West |
Sad reality for addicts:
I have come to visit once again. I love to see you suffer mentally, physically, spiritually, and socially. I want to make you restless so you can never relax. I want to make you jumpy, nervous, and anxious. I want to make you agitated and irritable so everything and everybody makes you uncomfortable.
I want you to be confused and depressed, so that you can’t think clearly and positively. I want you to feel guilty and remorseful for the things you have done in the past and you’ll never be able to let go of. I want to make you angry and hateful toward the world for the way it is and the way you are. I want you to feel sorry for yourself and blame everything but me for the way things are. I want you to be deceitful and untrustworthy and to manipulate and con as many people as possible. I want to make you feel fearful and paranoid for no reason at all. I want to make you wake up all hours of the night screaming for me. You know you can’t sleep without me, I’m even in your dreams. I want to be the first thing you think about every morning and the last thing you think about before you black-out.
I’d rather kill you, but I’d be happy enough to put you back in the hospital, another institution, or jail. But you know that I’ll be waiting for you when you get out. I love to watch you slowly go insane. I can’t help but sneer and chuckle when you shiver and shake; when you freeze and sweat at the same time; when you wake up with the sheets and blankets soaking wet. It’s amusing to watch you ignore yourself; not eating, not sleeping, not even attending your personal hygiene.
Yes, it’s amazing how much destruction I can be to your internal organs while at the same time working on your brain, destroying it bit by bit.
I deeply appreciate how much you are sacrificing for me. The countless good jobs you have given up for me; all the friends that you deeply cared for, you gave up for me.
And what’s more, the ones you turned yourself against because of your inexcusable actions. I am eternally grateful, especially for the loved ones, family and the more important people in the world that you have turned yourself against. You threw even those away for me!
But do not despair, my friend, for on me you can always depend. After you have lost all these things, you can still depend on me to take even more. You can depend on me to keep you in living HELL, mind, body, and soul. For I will not be satisfied until you ARE DEAD, my friend.
Forever Yours,
Your Addiction
