insomniac

The sign said DRINK ME, so I did;
And threw up on my shoes.
The sign said SMOKE ME, so I puffed;
And saw the world in twos!
The sign said TAKE THIS LITTLE PILL;
And so alas I swallowed.
I stayed awake and never ate;
Until my eyes were hollowed.
Ive wandered vacant rainbows;
Ive given life away;
We take our turn; our candle burns;
She leads us far astray.
No matter how we court her;
Make-believe cant stay;
One day she just outruns us;
If were wise, she gets away.

I think we have all had these moments. I like how youve given a real life view of Alice/'/s trip to Wonderland. We all have our regrets in life and only so few of us are able to put our experiences into words in order to try and shed some light on the path for others so maybe, just maybe we can help prevent them from falling or taking the same paths that we have taken. Yet again another great piece my friend. Thank you.

A positive message at the end.
We all need some make-believe but what is the price.
You are wise. |
