Methamphetamine affects every one's life differently and for the worst. Methamphetamines tear families apart by killing friends and loved ones, destroying addict's health or just by causing addicts to pull away from the people they love. Some individuals that are affected by meth express their feelings best through poems. We wanted to share some of these poems with you.

Going thru the motion of yesterday today Addiction has a hunger creating debt you cannot pay There is no point in speaking because they don't hear what you say Still your reaching out for something that is too far away You don't know what it is but your positive it's there But you're getting to the point that you're not sure if you care You are standing all alone but can feel the eyes that stare Gazing deep into your soul and its more than you can bear Violation is a word that you know all too well But you keep your story hidden because there is no one you can tell There must be a reason that you're locked inside this tomb Struggling with the air that is stale with all your gloom Your wilted like a flower but yet you didn't bloom Acceptance of isolation how now become your doom...

It seamed to be the thing to do, as everyone was too! I lit the bong and my problems were gone at least thats what I thought. That was the day, she krept into my life, the demon who controlled my will, my love, my stength, the fight. As if it was the first step in life, a mere stepping stone, from pot, to qualudes, to LSD, Coke and on and on. Then I met her, the crystal Lady, who had what I desired. I was in heaven when she was with me, nothing mattered, the kids the man, my life. She followed me around, and changed me every day, she turned me into and monster - in each and EVERY way. Oh, Crystal Meth, what a monster , but still I loved you so, until one horrible day - when CPS came along and took my kids away. here it was the very end, to her I bid farewell, I woke up and broke the rig that held a nasty spell. It took some time, I will not lie, I chose my kids, and kicked meth good-bye!! That was long long ago, and for that I am grateful, if I could help turn one life around - would make it all worth while. But though the years I have learned, you cannot help someone change with out their desire. So, I've been told to share my story, and pray it helps... Even if I can save one soul from the evil princess in white, I will thank the LORD - My life will have a meaning!!!...

Death is Meths Ugly Cousin Locked in this chamber with your family and friends. Watching in horror your fate, the fate that you alone sealed. Plunging lethal misery into the arms of ALL.... Mom, Dad, Brother, Sister, Daughter, Son, Lover and Mate. Can you hear them. Pounding on the glass. Watching in horror your fate, the fate that you alone sealed. Look behind you fool and gaze upon the clock. Cause time is all you got, to set matters straight and break free of your self sealed fate. The fate that you alone sealed the day when you pierced the heart of the ones you love. Your arms strapped down as you await the ride, the ride to hell. No way to point the finger at the ones, the ones you can't hear pounding on that glass. The glass of this self sealed chamber The one full of fear. Looking up to God asking him how I got here. You notice a mirror. God replies "Look closley at the reflection. And see the man full of fear. All it takes is a speck of belief that only I can free you of the straps and bondage that you alone locked. The day you pierced your families heart. The day you pierced from within." I can't take this hurt.. I can't take this prison. "remember the pain of others" God speaks with a little belief and I shall loosen the straps in time, cause time is all you have. To set matters straight. With the ones you harmed. The day you sealed the deal...

My husband used to love me He cared so much for me Now he's always away from home Far away from his family Crystal took him away from us And we miss him so very bad But even when he is around He's not the same man we once had And when he's home he's with the guys That he says are his friends But he's just the man who shares his dope Will he see this when it ends I miss my husband oh so much And the four kids miss their dad All the neglect that we've felt Do you think he might feel bad And although he leaves us all the time Broke and without food We know that he will soon return When he's in a come-down mood I plea and beg then sit and cry For him not to leave this time But he turns away not looking back And says he'll be back sometime Now it's time to tell the kids To say daddy left once more But they already know, they're used to it How much must they endure Late at night I stare out the window Hoping tonight he will come home Uncontrollably crying cause it hurts God I feel so alone And I will soon find out That outside my bedroom door Are my four little children wondering What's mama crying for I want my husband back And the kids NEED their dad Honey if you come home I promise I won't say nothing to make you mad Will you ever open your eyes And will you ever see That all we even want from you Is for you to be the man you used to be By: Ladonna Alvare...

This is my last ditch attempt to reach you This is all killing me inside I look around and see the chaos in our lives And my eyes are open very wide. You said "Walk away from me, I'm only going to hurt you Walk away from me; I will only make you cry Walk away from me; I am only going to hurt you Walk away from me and just let me die". I think of all the years I've watched you drown your pain Come up to surface and then drown yourself again I've always kept the hope that someday you will see the light But the water is over my head, and I'm scared I cannot win this fight. You said "Walk away from me, I'm only going to hurt you Walk away from me, I told you from the start Walk away from me; I will only bring you sadness Walk away from me I will only break your heart". Some people bury all their troubles in a bottle Some people choose to stick a needle in their arm When I saw you I thought Love was what you needed But all you want to do is die and I was wrong. I wish I could walk away from you, you only know to hurt me Walk away from you, you only make me cry Walk away from you, you only bring me sorrow Walk away from you, loving you is killing me inside.
