Meth Addiction

Meth addiction, a dangerous affliction,
It can ruin lives with its painful friction,
A powerful drug that can take control,
Leaving you with an empty soul.

The first high can feel like pure bliss,
But soon you'll be trapped in a deadly abyss,
Your health, your sanity, and your life,
All sacrificed to this vicious strife.

Your teeth will rot, your skin will age,
Your mind will twist with each passing stage,
Meth addiction, a dark and deadly game,
One that only leads to pain and shame.

So if you're tempted by its fleeting high,
Remember the cost before you try,
Meth addiction is a path to destruction,
One that no one should face without instruction.

Amen to that. It actually sounds like you may have experience with this subject, Deborah, or know someone close that does. I was an addict but have been clean for over 30 years. Very hard to quit!
