Follow the white rabbit

Story
In my mind

The Cheshire Cat: “Follow the white rabbit” 


Me: “Which one?”


The Cheshire Cat: “Doesn’t matter they’ll all lead you down the same path. Where they are going to take you is where you will find where you have been headed all along” 


Me: “Where would that be you mischievous little cat? Insanity?” 


The Cheshire Cat: “Freedom”





Painting frames

When I was little no one wanted to play 

So I decided that I hated the games 


And started repainting the frames

When they started calling me names

They all sounded the same 

It all started falling into a haze 

Running circles in this maze

Words tumbled like my grades 

So I started writing essays

And repainted the frames 


Mama said

“Go clean up those blood stains,

They get darker when it rains

They should be white

You should be alright.

Dear child stop biting your nails

Break that habit

Don’t follow the rabbit

And follow my faith

Go get academic  As”
