Poem Title:
Poem
I destroy childhoods and tear homes apart. I make you neglect your bills and blacken your heart. I’ll cost you a small fortune. I’m more valuable than gold. No matter how expensive, I’m normally gone before I can even be sold. I’m readily available; you can find me all around. I could be on a back dirt road, or in a bank downtown. I out stay my welcome with the rich and dwell around with the poor. I could move in your neighborhood, maybe even next door. The power I hold is unlike any kind. I can have you falling asleep, act crazy, or just basically lose your mind. If you just try me once, I might just let you go. But, if you come around for seconds, I will own your whole soul. I can make you start thinking, seeming logical to steal and lie. That’s the power in my potion, all just to get you that high. Some users of me commit crimes, some just brake down. Most have to leave me for jail or for an emergency ‘get out of town.’ You’ll lie to your mom, lie straight to her face. Not bating a lash at all the false schemes you just made. I can make your morals foggy and you’ll most definitely lose your way. You’ll transform into a different person than the way you were raised. I take kids from parents and parents from kids. I turn people against God and separate them from their friends. I can be quite needy; I’ll steal your youth and your pride. But, you can never escape me; I’m always by your side. If you try to leave me behind, I will make your life hell. I’ll let the anxiety and shaking take over until you can’t help but fail. In the future you will regret the day you tried me, they always do. Don’t blame this on me alone, you came to me, not I to you. I will be your master, and you will be my slave. If our relationship progresses, I can take you to an early grave. Now that I’ve introduced myself, what will you decide to do? Give me a try or pass? It’s completely up to you. I can deliver more misery than words can ever tell. Swallow that pill and I will lead you towards hell.
