“My Wonderland”

My mind is a universe,

Its own Wonderland

Unto itself;

Where nothing is what it seems,

Visions coated in dreams.

And like Alice through the looking glass,

Tripping falling on my ass,

I take it upon myself to ask

Those who have class,

Dorothy and Toto

Who live over the rainbow;

Yet their thoughts come and go

And they never know

How to answer properly

To questions so unruly:

What is it that makes me think this way?

How can I force my mind to stay

Upon one thought, like it or not?

Where is the Scarecrow with his borrowed brain

Or the Dormouse with his advice so insane?

Then I see the White Rabbit hurrying past,

Carrying my thoughts way too fast

For me to outlast;

And it’s back to the NeverEnding race,

A chase,

A search for responses

To all this nonsense

That goes on inside my mind, my Wonderland.
