Wonderland Walking through the coarse sunlight Clenching to my cloak of darkness, Drawing closed the last beam of light. i throw out an unforgivable jolt of hate, loneliness. Walking through the rain-pounded street like a lonely phantom, Trying desperately to shut out lovers crazy gobble. Contemplating as I reap the hatred I find everywhere, shadows of the lovers. Feeling whittled, cut apart. I bear my fangs, Clenching to the harsh reality noone seems to notice, Fighting this giddy wonderland. I show my teeth and pull two more into kansas. You aren't in wonderland, toto. © Algernon, 1999 I wake to darkness and things therein I fear them and their beauty I turn on a light, to chase them away but I'm only brought face-to-face with my fears. I shut out the light in an instant embracing the dark that it brings I turn to face the beauty. Here I see nothing but the wonder in my skull Here I need never face my fears Here all is subject to my imagination Here is my home. © Algernon, 1999 |
