This is a poem about addiction and the life style that goes hand in hand with the addict. The Lady In White is a metaphor that the addicts choice is a White powder or rocky substance. E.G. Methamphetamine, Cocaine, China White... I have struggled with addiction all my life...... A warning to you dancing with the Lady in White, Her medicine stuns, leave’s you HIGH as a kite. You think back and wonder how it got here, There are gaps and things are fuzzy nothing is clear A hungry gorilla lives on your back, His only purpose is to get a fat sack. The things you will do and the things you say, MR. Gorilla will get his way. How do you kill the beast, the beast is you? You allowed him in gave yourself up to. IT takes a lifetime for you to see what's real, The death of you, your Achilles' heel. Even knowing you are still willing to play, If you’re lucky you get to live another day. Another day is just a day you must hustle, Sometimes it’s the brain other times it’s all muscle. It brings temporary pleasure but at what cost, Among the living are the dead in the land of the lost. It is powerful overwhelms you and me, Bounded by chains you cannot break-free. The lies, dirty deeds and all the shady tricks, Chasing the bag for your next fix. I once had hope and dreams to pursue, Getting High is all you want to do. The only thing in life I regret, Is the day The Lady in White and I met…….?
