Alice?

Alice?

A Poem by MinorArt
"

Something rather odd I scribbled in a few minutes and I'm Not exactly sober so hey ho

"
But, my dear, this isn't wonderland
And you are not Alice
You are not Alice
Not Alice
Not Alice
Alice
Alice?
Alive
Not Alive
You are not alive
I could've sworn I was
I felt my pulse
Intense
Through my fingertips, aching
With every beat
Against my temples
Painful, almost
But I felt the beat
I smelt the blood
I tasted life
I was alive
Am I alive?
Alive
Alive with what?
With nonsense, transferable, from life to life
Through generations
The concern. Petty poor concern
I'm alive with fear
Does that make me dead?
I'm heavy in the heart, I'm sprawled, Spent
In bed.
I think
Maybe I think too much, but how could I not?
I'm on the brink
And in the blink of an eye I miss my queue and I sink...
I sink through bottomless pits
Dragging with me dreams of indelible marks I leave in years to come because I tried and I tried and I finally made magic in ink..
Slivers of something big
Seeping through me
Slow
In sync
With all the beats and pumps
As if I've been pricked
Pricked
with tricks of life and wind
Links
Between me and my past cracking open, immersed in flickers of blues and fires
My dreams shrink
Shriek
Call for my help but I'm glued to my seat
Thick
Thick and sticky, the air is sweet
Leaks in my conscience
I forget to be meek
I'm being witty instead and it makes you tick
Tick like you do when rage is hot
Piping, surging through your lips
Building hatred on that tongue, rolling on the tip
And I taste venom in your spit
It trickles into me
I dribble
Wasted on the liquor
Cheap
Look at me
Just look at me
Stare long enough so it makes you sick
So you know I'm sick
I'm sick
Sick
Sick enough to think I skip in fields of ice cream cones and bricks
Bricks in houses made for licking; sweet
Sweet and sticky, nothing tricky
Just stick your mind in it and eat
Eat up every little bite of it
Before you hear the..
TIK... TOK
TIK
and that monster whispering
But, my dear, this isn't Wonderland
And you are not Alice
