    They beg
    Please just stop
    Crystal is tearing you down
    Making you someone that you aren't

    ^
    Bone chilling opening.. I know what you are talking about right away and this opening stanza is sad, the fight between the ones who love you and the love of the feeling Crystal is giving you is a tug of war. Well written.

    I quickly say
    Maybe I don't want to stop
    Crystal is bringing me happiness
    This is who I am now

    ^
    The way you put this is so true, the thought process of the ones who use this are under a spell, a thought of belief this is actually helping them giving them what the needed to be who they are but when in reality it is destroying them slowly.

    They cry
    Please stop
    You are slowly dying
    This not the girl we loved

    ^
    Emotions flooding, powerful and gripping.

    I state
    Maybe I don't want to stop
    I would die without it anyways
    This is the girl who doesn't care about anything

    ^
    Exactly what this thing does to people. Makes them only care about crystal and the feeling it gives them anything else is meaningless well written and very sad.

    They ask
    What is so great about it?
    Why did you start in the first place?

    ^
    My questions to the ones I love who I have known who have started this.

    I answer
    I don't have to sleep, dream or be sad.
    I love feeling wide awake
    I love not feeling hunger pains
    I love being high

    ^
    Cold hard slap in reality to the ones you love. To hear these things come out of your mouth the rough tug of war here. The emotions you feel, the escape you enjoy.. It is a deadly road but one that feels so good it is hard to leave..

    They plead
    Please just stop
    I smile and reply
    I will never stop

    ^
    Wow.. Well what an ending, a very sad ending.. A hopelessness here.. I hope this is just a poem written.. It is a struggle here, I have known people who have had everything taken away from them due to this drug.. What a poem, shows the reality of this powerful drug and the sadness it brings to everyone around you.

    5/5

    Very powerfully amazing poem, you portray your thoughts very well, and addiction is a very hard thing to understand unless you have been there. The opening and closing paragraphs are great. i like how you have used both how u feel and how others around you feel. very powerful, very well written!
