I am Meth - This was written by a young Indian girl who was in jail for drug charges, and was addicted to meth. She wrote this while in jail. As you will soon read, she fully grasped the horrors of the drug, as she tells in this simple, yet profound poem. She was released from jail, but, true to her story, the drug owned her. They found her dead not long after, with the needle still in her arm.

Day Walk - Daylight holds less mystery than nights beneath the moon but the sun holds inspiration and openers and light that ends too soon.

Putting Down Roots - Let us rejoice at this breaking of the earth to build upon this ground that will house many.
