Creative Writing: Losing Everything To Methamphetamine

Losing Everything To Methamphetamine I once knew a man who had the most illuminating smile. He loved sports,he loved to brag whenever his team won a game. This man had some of the strangest jokes one could ever hear,they were never funny, but you’d always laugh because of how funny he thought they were. He was just one of those people that made you happy seeing them happy.Always a smile on his face.This man is now in jail.Why?Meth.This man lost his job, he does not have a home, he doesn't have any money, he lost his kids, and he's in jail. All of this for a 6 hour high.This man, my father is not the same man he used to be. Meth, or any drug changes a person, it makes you feel confident and amazing,however these are only the temporary effects. …show more content…
I no longer can go camping with my dad, or sit on the couch with my dad and watch ¨Mrs.Doubtfire”on repeat. I can’t talk to my dad about my day at school, or sports, or boys.

He doesn't belong there, but he made the decisions he did.Meth causes depression, and from my experience not only for the user. I’ve had so much trouble with who I am because of my dad.When I was little I knew I wanted to grow up and be just like my daddy. The way he spent that extra dollar just so he’d make sure I got my favorite cereal. Those little deeds went so far for me, now I don't even know who he is.

When you are on any type of drug your judgment impairs. Most people on a normal day would not just decide to rob a bank, but if you are on meth, or any other drug you get a rush.You feel confident, and you feel like you could conquer the world with your own two hands, so you rob the bank. You may end up killing a couple people, who knows, your not yourself.So you do all of this, and it seems like a joke at the time. You like the bright red and blue colors and the song that's playing in your head, it’s all just a game.Then you wake up in jail. You wake up with a huge headache and all the memories from yesterday flash in your head. You robbed a bank.You killed two people,and now you’re in jail.This is okay though isn’t it, only harmed you,
