Lady in White

more pain from migraines and endo inspired this

It hollered, “How you dare try to live a normal life!”

Pulling me back down in to the familiar fire and drowning sensation

It’s what I’ve grown used to

 

It smiles at me

Mocking and laughing at my feeble attempts to

Regain any sense of normalcy and fun

Pulling me under, sneering

Drowning me like a pup that’s isn’t a pedigree

 

She appears out of the mist

Bright white light forcing it back

It screamed

Angry at being denied its delicious treat

 

I cry clinging to her white outfit

Her soothing words

Floating like doves upon a gently breeze

 

I gasp, bedraggled and tired

Sprinkling sparkles on to me

I fall into a deep sleep

 

The sun streams into my windows

Opening eyes to a new dawn

In the back of my mind

I hear its echo

“Let a new battle , Begin”

i really loved this expression
it made me think how us flawed humans become fixated on perfection & purity (that is what the lady in white represents to me)
it made me think how we drive ourselves crazy inside to be normal....
what is normal anyway?
the last line - to begin shows a new hope to just be normal in the imperfectly perfect

It can't be bargained with. It can't be dealt with. You can't yell at it. You can't cry with it. You can't fight it. It may never go away and you may be consumed by it. You can't do this, you can't say that. It is trying to control you. Break you. But never let it destroy you. They say be strong, but it's to say that when you have no idea. Either way, raise your middle finger proud and tell them that your spirit is not for rent! Reading this is like looking in the mirror. And I'm so glad I got the chance to read this. Just no that you're not alone, you're never alone. Awesome piece!

I'm looking at this, as I scan it. I see the irony in the last stanza that makes ALL the difference! "Sun Streams / New Dawn / Let a new battle begin"

The lady in white brings comfort in their own way. Your poems turns towards a more peaceful tone as if you found peace, a new beginning. Random words form images for us all who read your work. This one is very good, I like it.
