Into the Rabbit Hole

And in another moment I fell in... not paying attention to how I was going to get back up.

Time is ticking for the dire majority

Taking advantage of the lovely minutes

Precious seconds slipping away

Going down the rabbit hole

My head is spinning like the hands of a clock

Round and round I go

Until the world lines up perfectly

And time is forever still

Who is this new friend I see

He's not like the rest, he's similar to me

His mind must be in turmoil too, I declare

And is body ripped in half, like the paper's tear

I see him coming towards me

What excuse should I use this time, who will I be

My mind is blank as I match his stare

His face shows no emotion but I know he cares

Oh save me from this treacherous world

Having me suffer is like salt in a wound

Could you be the one to be my prince charming

Rescue me from the depths of the rabbit hole

Clutch my hand ever so tight

And whisper you'll never let me go

But i fear my time is running out

Should I stay or go

Staring into your eyes now

Wishing their was hope

But the world isn't kind to us rejects

We get thrown into the rabbit hole

Tossed away like useless garbage

Fed to the mice and bugs

Praying there was light at the end

At the end of this rabbit hole

Take me away forever, fool

Lead me into paradise where society can't judge

For the harsh words dent my soul

But your stare melts my heart

No words are exchanged, no faces made

It's just you and me- me and you with time frozen

Tick tock goes the clock as I catch my breath

But for once I shut it off

Shut off my mind as if it's a toy

Spinning me around and around like a ploy

What move will she make next

Perhaps a yelp or maybe a dance

But for now I'll concentrate on you

Your brown eyes, their true beauty masked away

Hidden from life's judgement

Hidden from my view

The shape of you and how I can relate

How one person gets me this way

Could it be, have I found the one

Maybe it's another trick to turn my mind back on

But no, you lean in as I flinch

I've never had someone understand me like this

He gets my words and looks

The way I only ever talk to books

Your lips hover next to my ear

I await the words and how they'll feel

Like mousse running through a blender

Like time itself stopping

I wait for the hand to pull me up

Rescue me from life

And take me away for eternity

Forever in your embrace

He closes in like a wolf on it's prey

I close my eyes, ready for the change

Instead you take my hand off the ditch

And whisper softly so only I can hear

"Time is up for you"

My grasp slips and I fall down

Deep into the rabbit hole

Author's Note

Um yeah, so I just finished watching Alice in Wonderland... I think it's obvious though. Halfway through, I couldn't focus because inspiration struck and there's the poem.

This is extremely good, I would write poems like this, but I'm not too into poetry. This is great though!

[AllauraRose]

I like it, I personally love Alice in Wonderland so I think it is cool. I like the metaphor of falling in life and being an outcast, I get it. The way you turned it around in the was cool becuase it is like you can’t trust of depend on anyone but yourself, good job!

I can never get enough of that movie, the old and new one. It's so hard to hold yourself up high when others strike you down. Thank you for your feedback!
