oh dear, dearest alice
it seems you have fallen down
the rabbit hole once again, silly girl.
down
down
and
down
you fall, sweet alice
what a pity you let this happen again..
we can only hope you learned from the last time.
except this time you know,
that not everyone is how they seem
and you can no longer depend on others
to get yourself out.
oh dear, dearest alice
do not fret now,
you've been here and gotten out once
surely you can do it again, right?
you'll make it back home in no time, dear alice!
do not fret at all.
oh dear, dear alice
soon you'll return to the land of joy
and classy people,
the place where the grass is green and
your mind is the only frightening
thing to face.
but oh dear, dear alice
perhaps your fall back down the rabbit hole,
wasn't such an accident after all?
perhaps you missed the place where the
creatures were frightening
and the people were completely mad,
the place where everything is opposite and nothing is as it seems but somehow it all made sense,
at least to you and me.
the place where anything is possible
and you were free.
oh dear, dear alice
you read between the lines
and visited little rome
so don't you think,
if you truly wanted, you'd already be back home?
oh dear, dear alice
maybe, just maybe,
you find comfort in this dark and
twisted place?
maybe you find comfort in the frightening creatures and the way nothing makes true sense,
maybe you find comfort in the fact that
others here are bonkers,
just like you.
oh dear, dearest sweet little alice
do not be ashamed,
none of us here are pointing any blame.
but perhaps dear alice,
your fall down the rabbit hole
wasn't so coincidental,
but regardless,
we welcome you home dearest alice,
the true queen of all that is strange and mad.
