i was given a test
when i tried a drug
called meth
it was the best
i have ever felt
although i once
promised myself
id never try it
when i was offered
i was at my lowest
i made my decision
to take a taste
and when i did
i seen the world
a more interesting place
i was able to
look into people’s faces
i was able to laugh
and really mean it
i wanted to do things
i never thought of
doing before
all the emotions
that rushed through me
told me to take more
but as the days
went by when i was
getting high
and more high
i started to feel
like god was telling me
the people around me
were not real
i started to believe
i was in a different world
telling people crazy things
the people who used to know me
before taking this drug
started to ask if i needed help
not knowing what was wrong
they did not know i was on
anything like this
they remember i told them
i would never try meth
i tried to stay strong
my mind was telling me to stop
i was trying to get rid of the rest
i was tired of this ongoing test
i got to the point where i
caught myself trying to die
not even knowing why
i started to black out and not even know
where i was most of the time
within days i was brought
to the hospital where they
put me into a mental facility
days of sleeping i wake
to find out i was miles and miles away
told me that i was there involuntarily
i was still in my psychosis
when the nurses and therapists came
i didn’t know if they were
real or fake
i felt like everyone was after me
still weeks and finally medicated
i started to collect everything
in my head that happened
A year later and I am proud
to say that I have became sober
Life to me is better
I learned my lesson
Using meth
I hope I can continue
Doing my best
Without thinking I need
an escape
One day I’ll find my place
