It pulls you in like the moon pulls in waves
A temptation most cannot resist
Unlike Mario, you do not have saves
Your insides, because of this, turn and twist
It is a destruction to your body
A puff of smoke can do so much damage
It makes you happy then angry
It will make your life a challenge
Put down the temptation before you die
Put it down and do not look back again
It may make you feel like you cannot fly
And there will be withdrawing pain
But now you can walk towards your future
And help others gain their futures

It's Red Ribbon week at my school and I wrote a sonnet about drugs and the effect it has on people.
