Beneath This Rhyme
Taking refuge in a desolate tunnel
Shackled with some troubled soul
Fate poured down a hateful funnel
Concealing hope in this rabbit-hole
Came to terms with these limitations
Rose like a phoenix to claim respect
Every choice is met with reservations
Each lie used as a means to deflect
Another tired victim of circumstance
Subjected to living on borrowed time
Love has been given one more dance
Revealing secrets beneath this rhyme

Author's Note
Late night musing. I have a fascination with rabbit-holes, and travel down them sometimes. Not as frequently as I used to. Random side fact: I was born in the year of the rabbit, in regard to the Chinese Zodiac. Appreciate you.

It's so easy to do. Those rabbit holes can be so intriguing. I've been known to clamber down a few myself from time to time. The danger is getting in so deep you can't get back out. Appreciate you & your musings, DL

Most rabbit-holes aren’t Alice’s Wonderland, for sure! And the rabbit-hole of your musing, as you described; well, alas, it seems I may have been down a very similar rabbit-hole before myself.
