Don’t cry, said Alice,

it’s all a game,

life and death,

it’s all the same.

 

Don’t be fooled,

it’s all illusion,

don’t believe,

your own delusion.

 

Look in the mirror,

what do you see?

a collection of habits,

that I call, ‘Me’.

 

Step through the mirror,

beyond the girl,

and look into,

another world.

 

Experience,

is one third true,

but only for,

the reflected you.

 

So don’t believe,

all that you feel,

the crux of life –

nothing is real.

 

So, White Rabbit,

I would say,

there is no point,

to run away…

 

and Hatter, dear,

we’re all quite mad,

pour the tea,

and don’t be sad.

Broken Reflection

 

 

 

 

 

Shhh, don’t tell

don’t let on

that you’re in hell

hush now

 

Your lips are pursed

don’t tell the doctor

or the nurse

eyes down

 

What lurks within

can’t be without

masked by a grin

and bear it

 

So well hidden

the mortal sin

guilt well ridden

(Angels don’t sing)

 

The mask of norm

slips on by

distorts the form

stiff upper lip

 

Word to the wise

soured apple

of your eyes

windowless soul

 

Darkness falls

eclipses all

no voice can call

chin up
