Like Alice

Like Alice I’ve fallen into Wonderland
Lost and wandering the unknown
Left to the Jabberwocky
Left to the Queens
To pull and tear
And rip apart
Left for dead
With a choice so chilling
Kill or be killed
Like Alice I must make my stand

Like Alice I’m afraid
I have no direction
Yet I want to go my own way
Everyone’s trying to find me
They all want to use me
For their own personal gain
Caught in the middle, all I can do is run
From the knave, and the red queen
From the jubjub bird and the bandersnatch
Like Alice, I’m trapped within a dream

wow...this is really good. I sometimes try to wear make up like Alice and then scream at the top of my lungs...Well like Alice Cooper I mean!! (just kiddin'!!)...But on a serious note, I think this is an awesome poem...and I also hope it's only a fiction.
