21st Century Alice
By: Melody I. S. Peters
Peering through the looking glass
Tumbling down the rabbit hole
Searching for the inner me
The one I can rely on
Schizophrenic thoughts and sounds
Conscious whispering loudly
Images of the haunting past
Motion to do the right thing
Blinders off for open eyes
Ears open for the first time
Attentively waiting for a signal
A sign of where to go, who to be
Finally free of the monotony
Wings unclipped soaring high
Unafraid of falling
But everybody lies
