Dear Ms Methamphetamine

Methamphetamine, I never thought we'd meet, But here I am, shattered and weak. At first, you were just something to try, But soon I found myself hooked and high. You numbed my pain and brought me relief, But little did I know, you were a thief. You stole my happiness and my best friend, And left me in a world that seems to never end. You made me believe I was better off dead, And filled my mind with thoughts I never said. You promised to solve all my problems with ease, But instead, you brought me to my knees. Now, I see the damage you've done, And know that this battle cannot be won. I was once a happy boy before you came, But now I am nothing but a broken man, filled with shame. I can't I let addiction take over me Like a silent thief in the night, it crept stealthily I thought I was in control, oh so foolishly But now I see the truth and it hurts so deeply It started with a small indulgence, just one shot, But soon enough, it became a daily trip My mind and body craved it, I couldn't resist And before I knew it, my life was a mess I pushed away loved ones, lost my job, my home All for the sake of that addiction's clone I thought it was my friend, but it was my foe Taking everything from me and not letting go.
