The Lady In White Poem by Debra Middaugh

A warning to you dancing with the Lady In White,
Her medicine stuns you leaves 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 fucking 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 life time for you to see what's real,
The death of you, your Achille's heel.

Even knowing you are still willing to play,
If your lucky you get to live another day.

Another day is just a day you have to hustle,
Sometimes it's the brain other times its 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 can not 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……..
