Heroin Speaks

Heroin--poet unknown

This poem is called Heroin, we do not know who to credit as the poet, but it has been floating around for sometime now. As the parent of an heroin addict, I can vouch for every bit of the pain it describes. And after you read this poem, read the post below and see if you have ever said those six words . . . I did and I will forever regret them.

Heroin

I destroy homes and tear families apart, I’ll take your children and that's just the start.
More costly than diamonds, more costly than gold, the sorrow I’ll bring is a sight to behold
If you need me remember I'm easily found, I live all around in your schools in your town
I live with the rich, I live with the poor, I live down the street and maybe next door
My power is awesome try me you’ll see, but be warned if you do you'll never break free
Try me once and I might let you go, try me twice an I’ll own your soul
When I possess you you'll steal & lie and do what you must just to get high
Crimes you'll commit for the narcotic charms
You’ll lie to your mother and steal from your dad, you’ll see their tears but won’t feel sad
You’ll forget your morals and how you were raised, I’ll be your conscience, I’ll teach u my ways
I’ll take kids from their parents and parents from kids, turn people from God heaven forbid
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, you'll be all alone
I’ll take & take ‘till you have nothing more and when I'm finished you'll be lucky to live
If u try me be warned this isn’t a game, given the chance I’ll drive u insane
I’ll ravish your body and control your mind
I’ll own you completely, your soul will be mine
Nightmares I’ll give as you lay in your bed
Voices you'll hear from inside your head
Sweats & shakes bad visions you'll see,
I want you to know these are all gifts from me
And when it’s too late you’ll know that your mine
You’ll regret that you tried me that very first time
You came to me and not I to you
You knew this would happen, surely not to you?
You challenged my power, you chose to be brave
You could’ve said no and just walked away, if you could live that day over what would u say?
Can i be your master will you be my slave?
I promise I’ll stay with you and on to your grave.

So now that you’ve have met me what will you do?
Will you try me or not? It’s all up to you
I’ll bring you more misery than words can ever tell
Come take my hand......I’ll lead you through hell
