Dazed, I lay on my bed Wondering whats happening in my head. Things turn out very different when You sit,ponder and look within
So I closed my eyes and dreamt of a land Far away from where I am.
It was dark and quiet No movement, not a sound But my ears perked up when I heard whispers Hushed,secretive... It came from on top of a mound!
So,stealth I do befriend And walk over to the tiny bend The mound was modest in stature Not too large,not to mediocre
On top stood two stout men, Rather funny in appearance One wore a bulbous hat that was bigger than him The other wore a strange jumpsuit and looked grim
I stifled a laugh,but it was too late They saw me like I was bait They flashed a terrible smile at me Revealing sharp crooked teeth and tongues that were slimy
I ran for my life, without looking back And wished and wished with all my might To be in a land with no terror and spite And the next step I took, the grass was green The roses and tulips were lush, beautiful And the birds preen
I was in my definition of paradise Not a speck of dirt,no vermin,no mice This was wear I wanted to be for the rest of my life But soon,my cerebrum brought about An unfortunate twist that involved thorns and a knife!
The roses weren't rose-y The tulips were no more tulip-y, Ugly,thorny creepers engulfed them, And my shoeless feet began to bleed.
A little girl,in a torn white gown comes up to me Her face innocent and harmless, She offers me her hand,without a second thought I take it And that was the biggest mistake
She draws her long knife And cuts through my wrist And whispers to me "appearances may deceive" And I fall to the ground, perplexed and grieved.
