Pills Kill Poem

I destroy homes,
tear families apart, take your children, and that’s just the start.

I’m more costly
than diamonds, more costly than gold, the sorrow I bring is a sight to behold.

And 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, and I live down the street and maybe next door.

My power is
awesome; try me……you will 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.

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 from 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
misery than words can tell.

Come take my hand,
let me lead you to hell…
