Dear Friend

I've come to visit you once again. I love to see you suffer mentally,physically,spiritually and socially! I want to make you restless so you can never relax. I want you jumpy and nervous and anxious. I want make you agitated and irritable so everything and everybody make you uncomfortable! I want you to be confused and depressed so that you can't think clearly and positively! I want to make you hate everything and everybody-especially yourself. I want you to feel guilty and remorseful for the things you've done in your past that you'll never be able to let go of! I want to make you angry and hateful toward the whole world for the way it is and the way you are! I want you to feel sorry for yourself and blame everything but ME for the way things are! I want you to be deceitful and untrustworthy and manipulate and con as many people as possible! I want to make you fearful and paranoid for no reason at all! I want you to wake up during all hours of the night screaming for me! You know you can't sleep without me! I'm even in your dreams!

I want to be the first thing you think about every morning and the last thing you think about before you black out! I would rather kill you? but I'll be happy enough to put you back in the hospital..another institution or jail! But you know I'll be waiting for you when you get out! I love to watch you going slowly INSANE! I love to see all the physical damage that I'm causing you! I can't help but to sneer and chuckle when you shiver and shake..when you freeze and sweat at the same time and when you wake up with your sheet and blankets soaking wet!

It's amusing to watch you ignore yourself..not eating..not sleeping..even your personal hygiene! Yes it is amazing how much destruction I can be to your internal organs while at the same time work on your brain destroying it bit by bit! I deeply appreciate how much you sacrifice for me!

The countless good jobs you've sacrificed for me! All the fine friends that you deeply cared for? you gave up just for me! and what's more.. the ones you turned against yourself because of your inexcusable actions! I'm even more grateful!

And especially your loved ones..your family the most important people in the world to you! you even threw them all away for me! I can't express in words the gratitude I have for the loyalty you have for me! You sacrificed all these beautiful things in life just to devote yourself completely to me! But do not despair my friend for on me you can always depend. For after you have lost all these things.. you can depend on me to take even more! You can depend on me to keep you in living hell..to keep your mind..body ..and soul! for I will not be satisfied until you are dead! My friend!

Forever Yours - Your Meth Addiction!

Hotel California

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair

Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air

Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light

My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim

I had to stop for the night

There she stood in the doorway;

I heard the mission bell

And I was thinking to myself,

'This could be Heaven or this could be Hell'

Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way

There were voices down the corridor,

I thought I heard them say...

Welcome to the Hotel California

Such a lovely place

Such a lovely face

Plenty of room at the Hotel California

Any time of year, you can find it here

Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends

She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends

How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.

Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

So I called up the Captain,

'Please bring me my wine'

He said,'We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine'

And still those voices are calling from far away,

Wake you up in the middle of the night

Just to hear them say...

Welcome to the Hotel California

Such a lovely place

Such a lovely face

They livin' it up at the Hotel California

What a nice surprise, bring your alibis

Mirrors on the ceiling,

The pink champagne on ice

And she said 'We are all just prisoners here, of our own device'

And in the master's chambers,

They gathered for the feast

The stab it with their steely knives,

But they just can't kill the beast

Last thing I remember, I was

Running for the door

I had to find the passage back

To the place I was before

'Relax,'said the night man,

We are programmed to receive.

You can checkout any time you like,

but you can never leave!

Scared to death to stop

Terrified to go on

Yet I do, with a smile

Not a pure smile

A smile from the face you see

No one can know how this face lies

But I know

It lies to me most

It torments me with false promises

It holds the strings that work me

I am it's prisoner

A prisoner of choice-the most pathetic kind

I hate the smile

I hate the face from where it projects

It looks back at me from the mirror

Mocks me--taunts me--haunts me

Terrifies me

It does not posess me

Yet I know it does

Only I can make this face sleep

It fights and struggles against me

Until I am the one that struggles

But only I can slay this demon

As I alone have wakened it

Please God...please Jesus....and all pure Spirits of this earth

Make me strong

Strong enough to put back to sleep

The demon from within

This face

Ms. Crystal Meth

written by Samantha Reynolds

If my 'glamorous' lifestyle

Is appealing to you. . .

And you want to try me

Because you've 'nothing to lose'. . .

Then, let me give you

A bit of advice:

You are a fool. . .

And you'd better think twice.

I destroy homes.

I tear families apart.

I take your children.

And that's just the start.

I'm more valued 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 school and in town.

I live with the rich.

I live with the poor.

I live just down the road.

And maybe next door.

I'm made in a lab, but

Not in one like you think.

I can be made under your kitchen sink.

Or in your child's closet

And even out in the woods.

If this scares you to death

It certainly should.

I have many names

But there's one you'll know best.

I'm sure you've heard of me.

My name's 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 if you try me twice

then I own your soul.

When I posses you

You'll steal and lie.

You'll 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 my arms.

You'll lie to your mother.

You'll steal from your dad.

When you see their tears

You must not feel sad.

Just forget your morals

And how you were raised.

I'll be your conscious.

I'll teach you my ways.

I take kids from their parents.

I take parents from kids.

I turn people from God.

I separate friends.

I'll take everything from you;

Even your good looks and your pride.

I'll be with you always.

Right here by your side.

You'll give up everything;

Your family, your home

Your money, your friends.

You'll be all alone.

I'll take and I'll take

'Til you've no more to give.

When I'm finished with you

You'll be lucky to live.

If you try me be warned:

THIS IS NOT A GAME.

If I'm given the chance

I'll drive you insane.

I'll ravage your body.

I'll control your mind.

I'll own you completely.

Your soul will be mine.

The nightmares I'll give you

When your lying in bed....

And the voices you'll hear

From inside your head....

The sweats, the shakes

And the visions you'll see....

I want you to know:

These are your gifts from me.

By then it's to late

And you'll know in your heart

That you are now mine

And we shall not part.

You'll regret that you tried me.

(They always do.)

Remember; you came to me.

Not I, to you.

You knew this would happen.

How many times were you told?

But you challenged my power.

You chose to be bold.

You could have said "No" and

Then walked away.

If you could live that day over

Now, what would you say?

My power is awesome

As I told you before.

I can take your mother

And turn her into a whore.

Go ahead and curse me

With every breath.

Just make your choice:

Will it be life or meth?

You will take unknown paths

On your journey through life.

Some will bring happiness.

Some will bring strife.

But, my path is one

You must not ever cross.

Although it's well trodden

Countless lives have been lost.

Now that you've met me

What will you do?

Will you try me or not?

It's all up to you.

I can show you more misery

Than words can tell

Come, take my hand.

Let me lead you to Hell.
