Growing Up

As she spiralled down the rabbit hole

Expecting wonderland

Yet frightened she was

In the world of the aces

 

As the daisies began to wither

And the cakes now tasted bitter

Doomed, her mind became

The list of impossible things was nothing but a card game

 

‘’Off with her head!’’

She heard, faintly in the distance

 

Mad had she become

And numb she went

In her wonder-turned-waste land
