lost in wonderland

spinning 

round and round

losing control

running into walls

unsure of where to go

and all these walls have mirrors

i’m haunted by my ghosts

i’m running into walls

i’m not sure where to go

i’m falling down a tunnel

that spirals till the end

it spins me round and round

while i hold onto my head

im down that rabbit hole

where alice once went

this strange foreign land

where all my times now spent

and now i’m left lost

in my little wonderland

searching for a way out,

but first i’ll need a plan

and all these mirrors haunt me

like the queen who haunted her,

trying to find my way around

but its all just one big blurr,

and there’s a talking cat

that always comes and goes,

reminding me just how far

i am away from home

but i’m not Alice you see,

so why am i so lost,

i’m becoming all these sizes 

at the expense of someone else

now i’ve cried a pool of tears,

maybe to swim my way on out,

maybe she isn’t the only one lost

left wandering without a doubt,

maybe we all have our own wonderland,

a bit of alice left in us,

maybe were all like wild flowers,

settling amongst the dust.
