Mistaken, a Poem About Crystal Meth

You may know who I am, but not 
what I can do. 
So let me extend some knowledge to 
you.
 
I see you're new to the game.
It's a game I know very well. 
You won't even remember. 
The day that you fell. 

I'll let you go places deep inside your 
mind. 
Then I'll twist your perception 
of the things you might find. 

I'll take you to places so dark that only 
shadows can dwell. 
I'll let you stand on the threshold of the doorway to 
hell.  

Then with all of your sexual senses 
heightened. 
I'll let you do things of which before you were frightened. 

You'll bare the scars on your soul , 
that I leave my mark. 
On those who survive their time with 
me in the dark. 

From your life and your loves , you 
will be forsaken. 
For I am the DEVIL please don't be 
misTaken.
