I left my house, swelling with drug abuse and alcohol tainted breath. My eyes were crystal clear blue and glazed heavily over. I walked down the road looking at the world through new eyes, terrified of the way my mind was playing tricks on me.
I smiled but my eyes were spilling tears all over my crop top shirt. The street seemed to go on forever and there was nowhere I could escape. Walking for mile upon dead mile I finally reached an underground subway tunnel. In I went, nothing better to do, still in a daze of alcohol and drug infused visions.

I was Alice going far into the rabbit hole by choice. This time I wasn't after a rabbit I was simply here to encounter the strangeness of wonderland and try my best to fit in. Maybe the rabbit would then come looking for me.
He did. Dressed in white, his hands welcoming me. He grasped me, held me tight in his embrace tangled together we wept. I wasn't looking for a prince but his rabbit ears turned to a silver helmet and he ran from me. I was left in confusion and in tears. No prince, no rabbit, nothing. I decided to keep going.
Flowers were dancing on poles under neon lights as caterpillars admired there bare stems. Disgusting. I wasn't interested at all. Smoke everywhere took me higher than I could handle and coughing fits replaced my words. Not that any words were needed in this world.

The tunnel was soon to come to end and I made it to the light that shined through the darkness. Satisfied was the last thing I was. I didn't wanna go on anymore walks but I know my confused mind wouldn't allow my feet to stand still. My future wasn't all as exciting as I was planning but at least I didn't have to live in sick reality. There will always be a tunnel when I need one..
