What Lies Behind The Secret Door

A poem about the movie/book "Coraline", focusing on the darker and more mysterious atmosphere of the story

If you wish for something more
Look behind the secret door
What lies behind the secret door?

A world of lies, and button eyes
And rats disguised as circus mice
That lies behind the secret door

A mother unlike any other
Even though she is the Other
And the real one was a bother
She lies behind the secret door
Tells lies behind the secret door

A dream come true, the nightmare’s real
Now, my child, I ask you, will
You look behind the secret door?
Get hooked behind the secret door?
And be lost, forevermore?
