Tilly's Poem

Falling, falling, falling,
Alice take my hand,
Help me try to understand
What is this place called wonderland
I feel so small
You seem so tall
What's the magic of it all
Hurry, hurry don't be late
We may not make those pearly gates
In my mind I must be dreaming
Why are all those people screaming
Madder hadder what's the matter
Stop the voices, all that chatter
Could it be that little pill
Slow me down, make me still
Wake me, shake me, make me real
Stop this madness that I feel
Hear the clock tick, tick, tick,
All of this just makes me sick
Where's the doorway
Where's the key
Is this only make believe
What was in that little drink
Something awful I can't think
I am here, I am, there,
I look around I'm everywhere
Down beneath the sheets I sink
Weary eyes that will not blink
I must be mad, I think I am
I'm so lost without my friend
Taking all this pill form potion
Masking all this ill emotion
I tried and tried, there's no more tears
It must have washed away my fears
Buried underneath it all
That emotion cannot crawl
Where did it go
I know it's there
It didn't vanish into air
That part of me I cannot find
Existing somewhere in my mind
