I dream of a place filled with wondrous sights
A place with such beauty dancing in the light
I thought this place only existed in books
That was until the day my whole life shook

Falling down below into the darkness
I could see nothing, the place was sunless
When I reached the ground all I could see
The vast wonders that can be hard to believe

A white rabbit appeared who was in a hurry
He ran about with lots of worry
He spoke of a queen who terrorized the land
This glorious place called Wonderland

I decided to help save the land and stay
Meeting interesting characters along the way
A cat filled with riddles and a hatter who is mad
A wise caterpillar and twins who aren't that bad

My journey had ended, the land was returned
I came over my fears from what I had learned
I was able to go home to my world above
Drifting away like a sweet little dove

Little did I know I would have to return,
To this different world where I would learn
To defeat the Jabberwocky all on my own
But this wouldn't be until I have grown

After killing the creature I spoke about this land
Everybody began to think I was mad
Eventually my sister and parents died in flames
And I believed that I was to blame

Screaming and shouting I was sent away
Where I would get help is what they would say
They told me I was unstable and had gone mad
Sessions after session made me feel sad

Until one day the rabbit came back
He spoke of the land and how it was black
So once again I fell down into the darkness
However, something grew and it felt heartless

I was expecting to see the beautiful land
But what I saw wasn't my Wonderland
This place was full of terror and fear
And at that moment it became clear

This place may have really been all in my head
I am probably just lying there in my bed
But I still went and saved my dream
No matter how much people will scream

The Queen of Hearts was a puppet, not a girl
This place was truly a different world
The puppet dead, the land returned to its fable
As they released me claiming that I was stable

As time went by a man toke me in
He seemed to be ok and free from sin
However, he drove me mad once more
Opening up Wonderland's gruesome door

The man who toke me in tortured me
Driving me into deeper insanity
He raped my sister and burned my family alive
He had covered their murders up with his lies

With my Wonderland destroyed because of him
I knew things were about to get even more grim
With the help of the Cheshire Cat and friends
I was able to bring it all to an end

I was finally able to get out of the straightjacket
And scurry away, just like the rabbit
I found the man waiting for a train
To go on and test on someone else's brain

I told him I knew of what he had done
He stood there, smiled, and called me hun
Snatching my sister's bedroom key
I turned away and back around with a bit of glee

He sees blood on my dress and my knife
From saving Wonderland and my life
Right away his smile left, he knew this was bad
I asked him, "now who is the one who is mad?"

Pushing him over, he was hit by the train
He will never destroy my land again.
I will be able to sleep and dream in my bed
But this will never be the true end

Wonderland still exists today
In my mind and it's here to stay
Don't be mad it is just as real as you or me
So sleep tight and have sweet dreams

Dream of a place so large and grand
Dream of a place known as Wonderland

I got this idea from American Mcgee's Alice and decided to write it up during my spare block

Truly amazing! I love how you but so many emotions in it! I was always fascinated by the dark side of Alice and you captured it so beautifully

Frightening. Truly terrifying. At first it's light, but as the poem goes on, my heart started to constrict. As I learned more about this character, the more I anticipated something devastating.
Well written, but I would like to point out that 'land' and 'mad' don't rhyme. That's my only qualm with it, though!
A ballad, no? I really like how it's a fixed form with the AABB scheme.

Pthh, what's up with you? Employing a litterary technique I hadn't learned yet :P

I just learned about what you did in English the other day, it's called 'consonance': A common type of near rhyme that consist of identical consonant sounds preceded by different vowel sounds such as home, same; worth, breath. Crazy, right? Did you even know you did that? :D
