My name is Heroin (NOT MY POEM)
Hello my name is heroin:
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 that I bring
p*ss a sight to behold
And if you need me
Remember that I'm easily found
I live all around you
In schools and in town
I live with the rich
I live with the poor
I live down the sreet
And maybe next door
My power is awesome
Try me, you'll see
But if you do
You may NEVER break free
Just try me once 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 my 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 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 that you'll hear
From inside your head
The sweats, the shakes
The visions that you'll see
I want you to know
That 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 more misery
Than words can tell
Come take my hand
LET ME LEAD YOU TO HELL
