This was written by a young Greek girl who
was in jail for drug charges, and was
addicted to meth. She wrote this while in
jail. As you will soon read, she fully
grasped the horrors of the drug, as she
tells in this simple, yet profound poem. She
was released from jail, but, true to her
story, the drug owned her. Her Nurse Eleni
(Helen) Andrianakis found her dead not long
after, with the needle still in her arm.
The family would like to thank the AOD
Mental Health Clinician Senior Psych Nurse
Eleni (Helen) Andrianakis for all her hard
work and all her help and support towards
the family. There should be more nurses
around like Eleni (Helen) Andrianakis .
Please understand, this thing is worse than
any of us
realize..............................................................

I destroy
homes,, I tear families apart, take your
children,
and that's just the start.
I'm more costly than diamonds, more
precious than gold,
The sorrow I bring is a sight to behold.
If you need me, remember I'm easily found,
I live all around you - in schools and in
town.
I live with the rich; I live with the poor,
I live down the street, and maybe next
door.
I'm made in a lab, but not like you think,
I can be made under the kitchen sink.
In your child's closet, and even in the
woods,
If this scares you to death, well it
certainly should.
I have many names, but there's one you know
best,
I'm sure you've heard of me, my name is
crystal meth.
My power is awesome; try me you'll see,
But if you do, you may never break free.
Just try me once and I might let you go,
But try me twice, and I'll own your soul.
When I possess you, you'll steal and you'll
lie,
You do what you have to -- just to get
high.
The crimes you'll commit for my narcotic
charms
Will be worth the pleasure you'll feel in
your arms,
your lungs your nose.
You'll lie to your mother; you'll steal
from your dad,
When you see their tears, you should feel
sad.
But you'll forget your morals and how you
were raised,
I'll be your conscience, I'll teach you my
ways.
I take kids from parents, and parents from
kids,
I turn people from God, and separate
friends.
I'll take everything from you, your looks
and your pride,
I'll be with you always -- right by your
side.
You'll give up everything - your family,
your home,
Your friends, your money, then you'll be
alone.
I'll take and take, till you have nothing
more to give,
When I'm finished with you, you'll be lucky
to live.
If you try me be warned - this is no game,
If given the chance, I'll drive you insane.
I'll ravish your body, I'll control your
mind,
I'll own you completely, your soul will be
mine.
The nightmares I'll give you while lying in
bed,
The voices you'll hear, from inside your
head.
The sweats, the shakes, the visions you'll
see,
I want you to know, these are all gifts
from me.
But then it's too late, and you'll know in
your heart,
That you are mine, and we shall not part.
You'll regret that you tried me, they
always do,
But you came to me, not I to you.
You knew this would happen, many times you
were told,
But you challenged my power, and chose to
be bold.
You could have said no, and just walked
away,
If you could live that day over, now what
would you say?
I'll be your master, you will be my slave,
I'll even go with you, when you go to your
grave.
Now that you have met me, what will you do?
Will you try me or not? It's all up to you.
I can bring you more misery than words can
tell,
Come take my hand, let me lead you to hell. |
