I am all about glamor and love. Straight up the only person you are truly faithful to is me. You and I will be doing things you never even thought you were capable of (and I don't mean that in a good way). I will get you so twisted you will be convinced the crazy things you do and say are hurting no one. And if you do manage to feel you wont care. It's about me and you.
So you might think a dirty public bathroom is just that - dirty, nasty. Or how about a dumpster? The longer you are with me the better it looks. It starts to look clean or you stop noticing the filth around you. Either way, it'll end up being a good place to get high, hide from the police (that are most likely not even real), hide your stash from your latest score, or hell as many things as you can come up with...and you will.
I will give you plenty of excuses to stay with me.
Maybe right now you shower everyday. Granted you are on tweaker time so who knows really...one day to you is three to someone else. When you shower does the dirt come off? If you aren't sure try taking one and when you get out of the shower run the towel across your arm...I know for some you'll find something on the towel. I know. How about your fingernails? Are they clean? Are your hands clean (not in a metaphor way, either)? When was the last time you changed your clothes?

END METH BEFORE IT ENDS YOU. ASK FOR HELP!!
It is worth quitting.
There is life after meth...give yourself a chance to live.
I bet you think you are looking pretty hot now, too! Lost some weight, people are paying more attention to you, looking at you and you are thinking you look fine. You definitely look different!
You might not be one that thinks there are bugs crawling under your skin. Congratulations! Gotta tell ya...there will be something...maybe you think there are shards coming out of your pores...or you need to pluck something...or maybe you think there is a bump or something that you have to mess with...you'll know what I am talking about...maybe you get stuck in the mirror...
Do you even know if you have sores?
Hey, let's take something apart and put it back together...again. It's fun to rewire things, too - I don't know why we always have to cut and splice cords from different electric devices though.
I bet you didn't think you'd be riding a bicycle at 29 (and not because you are environmentally or health conscious). Or that you'd resort to stealing clothes from laundry lines and someone's shoes off the porch. I know you never imagined being a tweaker and someone people cross the street to avoid. I can offer you a life you never thought possible.
EVERYONE IS WATCHING! EVERYONE IS WATCHING!
WHY IS EVERYONE WATCHING? WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT?
When we are together it's pretty obvious. You have no concept of time unless it's time to get high. And for that you will do anything no matter how ridiculous, dangerous, or how many times you promised yourself you would never do whatever it is you are about to do.
