/Shit Wonderland\

Come escape with me...

By Kendall RöttenPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

I've grown accustomed to staring off into the blankness,

Everyone likes to call

"Zoning out"

To others it's an out of focus picture,

To me,

Another dimension,

With a second chance of something different.

Something that's not this fucking Bullshit.

Where my imagination runs free,

Free from the ironclads of society,

Chapped lips,

Blood red from anxiety's teeth ripping,

Part their ways to let out my subconsciousness,

Singed secrets pouring out over the flames.

My tongue cannot form proper words,

Just painful grunts escape from my throat,

But I know just what I mean,

This is my own reality,

Where I escape from the horrors in today's society.

Just like when everyone turns their back on me,

When all I can do is scream,

Everything tends to get the best of myself,

Small situations like to suffocate the lungs inside of me,

I don't know if I even like breathing,

What am I becoming?...

Here I go,

Down my own rabbit hole,

I'm just late for tea,

They're far too late for a family...

Years and years have passed,

They've attempted to tell me,

My brain doesn't work properly,

But they just can't see what I see...

Do you know how many times I've asked someone to help me?...

Trapped within four walls,

My only company is my imaginings,

Yet they wonder why I'm basically nothing.

I almost had forgotten my punctuality...

Would you like to join me,

For interdimensional tea?

I must warn you,

It really gets to the point of insanity...
