Our parents, they longed for you so...
When you were born, their eyes they did glow.
Another Prince amongst seven Flowers,
You brought to them, so many happy hours.
You were only twelve when our Mother passed away.
I think the end began for you that day.
None of us even realised you were in so much pain,
Each one of us trying, our sanity, to regain.

You found your solace in a dreaded white lady..
She took your soul and made your world crazy.
For years you made our lives a living hell,
You depended entirely on her, we could all tell.
She quickly brought you down to her level,
And you knew she was just as bad as the devil.
This beautiful lady you call Ms. Cocaine...
Has only brought you a life full of pain.

It grieves us now to see you behind bars.
To know you no longer see the stars.
Not long after our Father went to his grave
Hoping you'd escape this life as a slave.
It is once again our hope and desire,
That you would conquer this white fire,
Make us proud again like you once did,
And finally bottle up the White Lady and close the lid.

That white lady turns people into walking dead.
This write really touched me and I felt your heart and sadness for him in this write. I hope he is doing better now and that he drowned the white lady in the toilet!

Hugs

Girlfriend this is heart wrenching truths that hit many. I remember it from before.
good writng. Most of the time every one don't realize how much the loved ones feel and the pain they go thru. What makes this write so unique is that you end it with hope and luv.
big huggs, luv, smiles, peace,

What can I say? DO not take this the wrong way, but it's not the drug but the person. I can relate, my bf has his bouts with cocaine. Sadly, some people don't realize that they are stronger than all drugs.
