Title:~Through my looking glass~

Author: Swan Song

I bend forward in white stocking and dainty dress sky blue

I tilt my golden curls then lift my mary jane shoe.

The mirror swirls like water as I go nearer to its frame.

I shout into the glass backwards and forward my name

I waved back to me then mouth says "come hide and seek"

I turned the glass on its hinge upside down for just one peek

I was greeted by a man in green who said "I am Mad Hatter.

Tell me dear, tell me my sweet what is the matter?"

The Mad Hatter pulled out papers in his hat one by one.

He laughed then said "watch my dear-this is how it is done!"

impropriety? I nodded "no!"
homo or heterogeneity I stammered "doh!"
dubeity? I shouted "crow"
peity? I whispered "slow"
notoriety I whistle "just for show"
sobriety? I sang "it glows"
society? I cried "it grows"

He scratched his wild hair and tried again...
sanity? I frowned

vanity? I smirked

humanity? I trembled

profanity? I coughed

Finally he threw the hat aside as the march hare hopped by

The rabbit wiggled his nose and shouts "Why she wants to fly!"

"Fly? fly you say? like a bird way up high?"
I shrugged and said "hmmm well sure so can I ?"

The rabbit sat thinking then said" my dear Alice!

Do you not see that you already have a palace?"

I was confused by what he had just said He said

" oh my dear try think with your head!"

A pink caterpillar appeared on a giant mushroom cap

He said come here my dear and sit right on my lap.

I ran to him and shifted through the haze and smog

He sucked a hookay deeply then out came a great fog.

I sat right down as a giant pink striped cat crept by

He had the biggest grin and winked with one gold eye.

"The world is filled with Cheshire cats that grin and giggle

In the faces of caterpillars a butterfly will soon wiggle.

A red queen may seem full of fortune and fame

but she is still a she only with queen added to her name.

And inside our own looking glass is what we chose not to see

We always look to others to ask tell me what is me!"

The Mad Hatter, the March Hare and the Caterpillar and the Cheshire Cat sang to me

"Oh...we dig and dig searching the rabbit hole

Deeper and deeper we claw a hunting for our soul.

But listen to us, listen to me. listen to us all of -three

You are fine, you will do okay, try to let yourself go- free

Be you now Alice so you can be who you will be

For who you once were is not what the mirror can see

You can soar Alice you can always try to fly

It is all in your mind that torments your soul to die.

Bury the hurt, bury the grief , the pain and the past

Let your wings fly from your heart and soar at long last."

I closed my eyes and found myself in front of the mirror.
The warping was gone I can see myself a great deal clearer.

I smiled blowing a kiss back to Wonderland with a wave

I spread my wings now free no longer my very own slave.
