Saving Alice
I’m lost,
And at what cost
Did I lose my way?
I went down a rabbit hole
Full of hope
I drank the vial when I was told
And it made me somewhat bold
I awoke
Tired than I ever was before
Ate the cake
Just to appear fake
Oh Mad Hatter, won’t you save me?
From my sanity
My madness locked in a cage
Controlled
Waiting to be set free
Only to find out it was all a dream
And at what cost
Did I lose my way?
I went down a rabbit hole
Full of hope
I drank the vial when I was told
And it made me somewhat bold
I awoke
Tired than I ever was before
Ate the cake
Just to appear fake
Oh Mad Hatter, won’t you save me?
From my sanity
My madness locked in a cage
Controlled
Waiting to be set free
Only to find out it was all a dream

Like this both because of the allusions to the Lewis Carroll story and also because my niece is called Alice.
