Down The Rabbit Hole.

I Didn’t Find Wonderland.

By Erin ShieldsPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

Sinking further and further down,

please don't stop me now.

I am falling

but I don't need saving.

I don't need a happy ending.

Content with what I've become,

I'm not the only one.

Slowly falling in love

with my sadness.

Caught up in this madness;

Driving myself insane.

So just let me fall,

keep on falling down the rabbit hole.

If I go deep enough

will I soon find my wonderland?

As I sank deeper

I became weaker.

Never finding my wonderland.

Instead confronted with the murky depths of hell,

which I now call my home.

Left here all on my own -

it's baron like a wasteland.

So I wandered down

never to be found.

The deeper I went

the more I was engulfed with this pain.

A monster I slowly became,

no relief from this never ending rain.

Will I ever make it out again?

I just wanted to find a release

to make this pain cease.

I thought this would be my escape,

so I chased the rabbit further and further,

sinking deeper and deeper

down the rabbit hole.

But soon I went too far

down a very bad path.

Getting lost along the way,

On my descent to wonderland.

I got side-tracked by the evil red queen.

So now where's my escape?

Where is my wonderland?

Maybe this pain

is my escape.

leaving me all alone

in my very own

twisted, fucked up,

wonderland.
