comments and/or critiques are appreciated.
your arms cross your chest,
your eyes open wide--
so quick to insist
that there's more inside
your bottles than countless
chalky white pills;
you say there's a Wonderland
and all of its thrills.
your hands clench, they tremble
your legs twitch and shake
but you're too lost in the dreams
you swallow when you wake
(compacted in tablets
to throw back with ease,
depart from the real world
whenever you please),
you're blind to it all;
too lost in the pull
of the capsules that show you
to your own rabbithole.
you pretend to be Alice
but that haunted look in your eyes
shows even you don't believe
your transparent lies.
