Viviana Linne Poet Free verse

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?
