'Am I Alice'
have I fallen down
the rabbit hole
everything seems so dark
where as it was once all
so very beautiful
through many windows
I happened upon a locked door
the skies appear so ominous
before me and yet
there are lovely blue ribbons
littering the warm earth's floor
The queen of hearts is not
so evil in her attempts against me
she is misunderstood
a vagrant to love
and feeling damned and petty
so many furry paws and hands
I'm offered in this wonder's land
but I cannot see the beauty
for the challenges I have to
navigate are illusive
the mad hatter prances out
his Cheshire grin as he
contemplates my plan
a winding nomadic maze
already half way in
only further awaits
my sad, tender heart's
sullen chagrin
optimism at this point
is little more than
a fleeting idea of a
bruised mind's option...........
