Three poems about crack cocaine

I have never taken this powerful drug and I never will; I have seen what it does to people. I watched a documentary called 'Wasted' about three girls in the east of London who were on drugs. One of the girls was pretty and cute but painfully thin. Her name is Stacey and she wrote poems to tell people about her life.

One of the poems she read was very powerful. I thought she had written it, but looking on the web I can see that there are different versions. The version she read was shorter and better than the more complete versions, and I have included it as I transcribed it from the documentary. I have also included my own version which I think is more powerful.
