The Rabbit Hole
Stumble out into the wilderness
Collect the garbage that the others have left
Counting the steps until your home
Cling to the path and suddenly you are gone
Are you feeling lost?
Will you live at any cost?
Are you just going to lay
On the forest floor
Hoping for a magic door
Well, I promise you
The rabbit hole won't appear today
Will the corpses of the trees reanimate at dusk
Is this guidance you trust
Painted arrows in the brush
Twisted, gnarling branches steal your thoughts
Are you feeling lost
Will you survive when sanity is gone
Are you just going to admit defeat
Laying on a bed of leaves
Hoping a white rabbit leads the way
I promise you
The rabbit hole won't appear today

Hey everyone, I'm a very thoughtful and introspective aspiring writer. I've gone through some heavy stuff and writing helps tremendously and I joined powerpoetry to keep me inspired and going and help deal with the demons. I love music, making independent short films and music videos and of course writing.
