"methhead" poems
Former methhead checks me
With his eyes, says hi
Hey, one small cup, please
Coffee with sugar and cream
MJ, not holding but maybe
Some day I'll entertain you
With a couple bowls
So we can get to know each other
He thought I was born this way
Should I or not make this basic
Thing the basis from which
I make the decision to let you in?
Why not?
I like it
Can't seem to find many hidden
In the masses of my kind who get it
So ****
Drink up getting buzzed meet up
With my little sis
Hey, sister, toot
Do a line or two
Miserable friends of the white
Grain powder, ******* brain
How dare haters say I'm insane
Naw, I like it, appreciate
The way you look overwhelmed
With disgust, huh
Maybe I'm a bad person
When it comes down to it
With the worst brought out
By faith I choose not to deny
Celebrate

Beautiful souls all glory and hope,
destroyed within minutes,
all because of the dope.
They didn't see this coming,
it wasn't their wish,
not one single child
hopes to grow up to be this.
The ****** on the corner,
that you judged as you passed.
Do you really believe
she enjoys selling her ***
And that man sitting homeless
outside of the store,
as a child couldn't imagine
what his life had in store.
The crackhead downtown
or the methhead on hastings,
had bigger things planned
than their current drug cravings.
It does not discriminate
it hasn't a preference,
robbing parents from children
it gains delight from their absence.
Addiction creeps up on you.
You wont see it coming.
Do you think if they knew,
that they still would have done it?
That mother who's child
C.P.S JUST took away,
now fights suicidal ideation
and self hatered everyday.
Because she wanted to raise her.
That child is her little one,
now shes 4 years old
and calls
SOMEONE ELSE
MOM.
See addiction destroys things
people family and homes.
But please try to remember
it's not ALL a fault of their own.
Peer pressure or trauma
or just one BIG mistake.
It was one bad choice yes,
but should it seal their fate?
Please have some compassion,
look past the outside.
See the child that's hurting,
looking out from an addicts eyes.
