Down the Rabbit Hole
Sometimes I feel like Alice,
I’m falling down a rabbit hole,
Spinning and spinning
However,
Unlike her,
I don’t come out into wonderland,
I just fall into nothing
I just feel nothing
And it’s scary,
It really is
Sometimes I’m just afraid of myself
Of how I act,
How I see,
How I feel
It’s like I don’t truly know who I am
And I don’t know how to feel
It’s like I’m an empty hole
Trying to fill it with whatever
Whatever makes me happy,
Whatever makes me sane,
Whatever makes me feel something,
Anything
It’s like I’m desperate to not feel numb
Like I’m desperate to not be a robot,
Doing the same thing,
Everyday,
With no thought,
No feeling,
Nothing
Just numbness
Am I really this broken?
