‘Turned around’

TO THE EDITOR:

I sit alone here in my cell
Thinking of my past I don’t dare to tell
Twisted was my mind like a bat in the dark
My family begged me to quit, but I broke their heart
Life goes by so fast on meth
And it only leads you to the pit of death
Now I have time to think with shame
Of the hard-core life in the meth game
I wish I could turn back the hands of time
I would not have snorted my first line
Meth will take you over in just a heartbeat
It will ruin your life and sweep you off your feet
It is a demon wanting to destroy your life
So please don’t do it; give your heart to Christ
So when times seem rough and you’re feeling blue
Just remember who will always be with you
Christ is there through it all
All you have to do is give Him a call
On meth your dreams will be shattered, your goals will be broken
So listen closely to the words I have spoken
