Down the Rabbit Hole

Don't know about the title yet; just something I kinda thought of and stuck with. Internalization of other's problems/emotions can stir me to write, so that's where this came from.

Come find me, if you wish.

I won't force you, my dear.

Just be warned, for what I hide,

I also seem to fear.

Enter into darkness,

The cold isolation.

Feel all the rage,

Sadness and frustration.

Go straight through Pain,

Make a left at Despair,

Make a right at Self-doubt,

And then you're there.

You'll find me in Self-Pity,

Webs of confusion littered round.

Hear my silent screams

Where my mind is found.

Sit with me, if you want.

Sight-see, if you please.

Just know that there's a reason

This space holds only me.

Don't get too, close;

You might get sucked in.

I don't want anyone,

But I do want a friend.

Leave me- no, stay!

Can't you see that I'm torn?

Battered and bruised

Due to my own storm.

Don't hate me, please.

I know it's a mess,

But one day I'll get out.

Know that I'm doing my best.

Someday, I'll make a skylight,

Let the Rays of Hope in.

But right now, just let me sit here

And breathe until then.
