#rabbithole
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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

how do you gaze at the rabbit hole in your chest without falling down into it?

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.

a traffic snarl-up,
at the middle of nowhere;
down the rabbit hole!

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.

Old Abilene Town
I can see to the bottom
of your soul
I don't see nothing
but the stench
of a dead rabbit hole
You destroyed my home
and you destroyed my girl
Now all you get is
your own funeral
You paved your way
Sea of Agony's bound
***** ****
old Abilene Town
Forever now known
as the ***** devils
G** **** 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

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.

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

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 claims another soul
Carried it down the rabbit hole
There it will remain
Forever shackled in it's chains
For once the black dog bites down
He drags you underground
You will remain changed
Your world rearanged
Your buried alive
No chance to survive

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

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

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

*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...*

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
