Weights and scales; wait for the scales to peel from your eyes — what do you want? We all jump to conclusions; the answer leaps first, like a brown bunny darting through tall grass. The ideas you refuse to birth are still born — when they die within you, it’s a stillborn dream. You ask for a warning before illusion arrives, but you’re the one digging — in and out, out and in — burrowing into yourself where echoes start to sound like truth. Will it end your dream? Only if you choose to cover it with dirt and call that darkness home. Just don’t mistake the grave you’re digging for a sanctuary.

Sanctuary or Grave
I see my life flashing before my eyes I'm falling into my demise Deeper into the hole of mysteries Just like the 7 seas Endless hole of disaster  Just because of some pranksters Wanting to see me suffer here I can't even hear Because of fast I'm going down this rabbit hole The hole  I did not wish to suffer through As much as I try to climb back up I always manage to start falling back into the hole once again As I look down, I see many cups While my ears are in pain Completely mesmerized In this mess Too mesmerized It's my weakness Hypnotized  By someone's lifeless corpse Gently swaying back and forth Wishing I would be that corpse  First, Second, Third, Fourth Not paying attention to my surroundings  Never finding any end Hearing my ears ringing while I hear clocks softly "ding"  No friend  Just me, myself, and I  Could've choose the red By the stuff I have read But has chosen to pick the blue I wish I have thought things through Stuck in a endless loop No longer in my group Wondering if I'll go insane someday Or if today is the day Where I finally land on my two feet Cold with no heat As the rabbit hole gets deeper My mind gets deeper Hearing sharp noise of the wind feels normal  As if I was an animal  Smiling as if I was happy But I feel so ****** So exhausted But also timid Bones feel like noodles but all I can say is "im okay!" Or "don't worry, I'm okay!"  I can never get out  Watching the lights go out Trapped inside the hole Which holds my soul A player that you can control **** You're on a roll!"  Forced to say that every time you knock me into a hard and sharp object I wish I would've picked the red one

someday I'd like to sit in my armchair by the window bathed with sunlight book open at a portal to drift off into storyland like Alice down the rabbit hole

like Alice
His eyes are gleaming as he glistens from afar, How beautiful it is to have an Aphrodite like appearance, I wonder how it would be like to fell in rabbit hole. Why it felt like second hand though we waltzed on a shipwreck I lost on his footsteps as I tighten the grip on his hands. I watched the stardust fall from his eyelash, dreams do come true as I fall for that hope.

Rabbit hole
There is a certain gracefulness in falling to your doom. As all the broken things surround you, as all the lost things keep you from the dark. And there in the Dark, is a place where shadows call home.

Whispers In The Mist
She told me over dinner one evening that I should switch to white wine— less tannins and calories, she claimed. I smiled and shook my head, a vintage cabernet stubbornly clinging to my bleached white teeth. The next day I found a couple bottles of chardonnay chilled in the fridge, a note tethered to one’s neck: Drink Me! I did not. Four months later, we signed divorce papers; she packed her things and left. I drank the chardonnay that last night, dizzied by the herringbone pattern of the old parquet floor, and wondered what would happen if I ate our frozen cake top.

down the rabbit hole
Slowly she began to fall down the rabbit hole learning about herself and what she believed in it wasn't so bad there that was when she decided to stay just a little longer

Rabbit Hole
and the voices come at night from the sink from the half light of a half dream from the phone unanswered chapstick echoes from another space perhaps another time to show us glimpses clues visions of apocalypse do we wish to play and what are we willing to sacrifice roaches in a jar this is your wake-up call

alice's diary
Alice had forgotten what happiness felt like. It’s been long since hers plummeted to rabbit holes with non-existent Wonderlands — hers plummeted to rabbit holes, from which it was never again able to climb back from.

modern day nightmare.
Fall into the rabbit hole of my soul For it is dark and deep An endless abyss of complexities That you can never fully explore I too, have not seen the end I continue to wander The parts of my soul Created, yet untouched Unknown even to me Because I am finding myself Unknowingly in a cycle Of creating and reinventing How can you tame What is always changing

I’ve made my decision. I’m running away from what’s inside my head. Shutting down and getting by doesn’t seem to be enough but if I close off and just be numb, what would I become? This is something I can not overcome. So this is it, I quit.

-The ***** Devils Hometown
I was told poems mustn't rhyme Those that do show infantile minds A child can rhyme two with glue Or find a metaphor for the sky being blue Rhymes are easy Essence is hard I use conventional flow As my not-so-trump trump card Stop. Branch out. Find the words to reach deep down. The soul wrencher's The tear jerkers The love felt on a whim From first sight Unable to project true depth Just imagery The easy kind . . . Stick to the rhymes for now Best to do what you know how

To Rhyme or Not to Rhyme?
I will look at you with the same old eyes. You will hold my gaze attentively. And I'll go on wishing I could change it all, When I know I can't change you. You will be forever capitvating, And I will be forever falling down - Down the rabbit hole of love, When I know I can't change you.

The Rabbit Hole
Come with me down the rabbit hole It does look scary But it'll awaken your soul Knowing the truth is worth all the pain Keep ahold of yourself and you won't go insane Every problem we face DOES have a solution There is a way to have a peaceful revolution Keep your heart present and don't get lost Choosing hate over love comes with a cost Right action, compassion, and empathy we need Not fear, propaganda, judgment, and greed

Loving Revolution
You told me you cared. And I asked you, why? With your hands holding tight to my wrists you said, No one deserves to go down that dark road. Not alone at least. I'm not dragging you down with me so I pushed you away. Too late, you replied. As we began falling. I've already followed you down the rabbit hole, you said while smiling.

Depression
Sitting out on a bench Thinking, maybe I should run and impale myself on that fence In the garage at the beams I take a glance Maybe I should tie a rope and do the marionette death dance Swallow a bunch of pills Or take a gun and cure my ills I knew there was a price for love Now watch me fall with that finale shove Falling down that rabbit hole Will I come back, I really don't know

Price of Love
You know how the story goes A little girl thrown in the rabbit hole Sides to steep so there she stays For years and years and days and days As she grew the hole got deeper The world was determined there to keep her It did a really good job For living in the hole was very hard Every time she seen the light The universe would put up a fight So she never reached the top She was always stoped Now even her bones have gotten cold In the abyss she's grown gray and old For others sin's she was made to atone Her only defence was to turn to stone She never did get out Through she fought every bout In every fight she was knockout So if you see a statue in the abyss You will know who it is

A Little Girl and The Rabbit Hole
The sun is shining bright today I wish the rain would go away I feel the warmth within it's rays If only this coldness wasn't here to stay By it's light I am blinded To the dark I am binded In the sky a ball of fire By the darkness I was sired It brilliantly lights the days But in darkness I'm forced to lay The sun was God given My darker life has risen I can see the light touch my skin Darkness is all that is within It gives my skin a beautiful glow I'm to far down the rabbit hole

The Sun Doesn't Shine in the Rabbit Hole
*I tried to create a distance I tried to stay away, but then **** happened and here I am again. Falling down the rabbit-hole, but still trying to climb up. Fleeing from this feeling, which people call love. I don't want to fall, my heart, I'll hide it away so that nobody ever can touch or reach it again. My head tells me that it's right to stay away, but everything else inside me screams "Don't let him get away!" So a war is going on in my head and I'm so confused 'Cause I'll have to choose What the hell I am going to do. So it really happened again. This stupid ***** never learns from her mistakes. Shit...I think I fell in love again...*

I Think I Fell in Love
My chest compressed, I can not breath And everything around me bleeds Trapped in the rabbit hole Where no one's supposed to go I think me and the Mad Hatter will get along splendidly We climbed into the tea *** boat and sail the crystal sea And dine upon the walrus hide We just can not be denied Oh what fun we had sunning on the shore All the clams gather round us,we was so adored Oh look over yonder there is a door Well Mad Hatter I've got to go but I shall be back If I have to put that rabbit in a sack To make him bring me to this wonderful place that I adore The Mad Hatter looked at me sadly, don't open up that door Your being silly I won't stay gone long But something was very wrong I opened it quickly And what I saw made me sickly For behide that forbidden door In a pool of my own blood I was lying on the floor
