Tea
Have a cup of tea
That'll make it better
have a cup of ******* tea
Oh are you bleeding?
Where does it hurt?
Why don't you have some tea?
Heartache? Heartbreak?
TEA
Have some some ******* tea.

when I was younger
I just wanted to be Alice
so that when I fell down a hole
there would at least be a purpose,
an adventure
and a story to tell.

I would be famous,
befriend the weird and wonderful
& finally belong.

but I got older
acquainted with the real world
and found myself
in a very different hole;
there is no white rabbit
to tell me where to go
and the monster in my head
will not be slain so simply
and my tears don't allow me
to simply float away.

but the biggest disappointment
(I blame growing up and finding love
and losing hope)
is that there is no end
to this hole of mine.

and I'm falling
& falling
&& falling.

and I'm afraid it's too late
to rewrite my ending.
it's too late at night and i'm too tired to hide from depression
so excuse the awful poem please

— The End —
