Down the Rabbit Hole
I feel like I have fallen down the rabbit hole again.
I said I was okay, that I wouldn’t fall again.
I’m stronger now, I can handle it.
But I was wrong.
I knew I was on the edge again, and I didn’t stop.
I could have turned around, but the rabbit lured me in,
and without a thought or a blink of an eye I stepped forward and fell.
I grabbed the pills, and fell down the hole.
I grabbed the bottle, and fell down the hole.
I grabbed the needle, and fell down the hole.
At first I just wanted the pain to stop, and now it’s as if I am welcomed home by an old friend.
The rabbit and I talk like the time I left never happened.
Why did I even think that leaving in the first place was a good idea?
I know I’m not okay.
I know I’m not the strong person I thought I was, and really is that such a bad thing?
I grabbed the pills, and fell down the hole.
I grabbed the bottle, and fell down the hole.
I grabbed the needle, and fell down the hole.
And this time I won’t be climbing back out.
