Rabbit Hole

Rabbit Hole

As swiftly as I surfaced,

I scurried back down the rabbit hole.

A rapid descent from who I am, 

and the women they think they know.

Into the dark dampened earth,

comfort I find within the ground.

Out of sight and of mind,

my frantic breathing the only sound.

When forced I will appear,

on the surface and in the light.

Ducking in shadows, leaping along fences,

a rabid animal, hiding in plain sight.

When approached I growl in panic,

me, myself, and I fear the emotions that grow,

so we bite at the arms that wrap us,

and leap back down the rabbit hole.
