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
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
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?
