There are never so many places to hide, As the places you have inside your own mind.

There are never so many places to hide, As the places you have inside your own mind.

A Poem by SophiaKathleen
"

Relatively simple in writing, but I think the premise is fairly complex.

"

There are never so many places to hide,

As the places you have inside your own mind.

I’ve fallen down the rabbit hole,

It’s a long way down,

I’ve fallen down the rabbit hole,

But never reached the ground.

I can’t find my white rabbit

Though I’ve gone down his hole

I’ve met all his friends,

Caterpillar, queen, and old souls

I know not where to find him

Though I continue to look

His world is filled with mysteries

And the looking glass someone took

I have searched high and low

And had his watch in my hand

And though my name is not Alice

Before the red queen I still stand

The judgment is always final

The scythe now is poised

Without the help of the white queen

And a mad hatter with a choice

There is no hope for my head

In this under-world I have found

Given the choice of death or death

I must look toward the ground

Praying will not help here

Even if there is a god above

In this world of complete wonder

I go without omniscient love

The query has just been answered

And in it lies my fear

I come face to face with my lancer

And lose all hope I had here

But a strange thing then happens

And the face is exposed

My expression is under that mask

A development I had never known

And in that occurrence

Lies the most ordinary thing

It is not anyone else you must fear

It is your own twisted minding.
