Down the Rabbit Hole...


I think I've fallen down the rabbit hole.

I'm not sure how long I've been in this dark and unknown place, but I know it's not where I belong.

Like slowly, sluggishly waking up for a dream, I'm starting to notice that this isn't right. It isn't real.


I've been living in a fantasy, trying to convince myself that up is down and wrong is right.

I've been clinging to the slightest shred of happiness or normality, convincing myself that it's enough.

I've been wasting my every breath to chase foolish fantasies, giving my all to maintain a fallacy.

And I've done it for so long, that I've forgotten that any other reality exists.


When did I last feel "normal"?

Is my entire self-worth so pointlessly ruled by the fleeting moments of hope, in a cruel and ruthless ocean of despair?

Hopelessly, desperately scrambling to be the person I paint myself to be every day.

To maintain the story that everyone around me is so desperate to read.

Hiding the monster away, hoping the world doesn't see I'm a fraud.

All too accustomed to the nothingness, the numb, of a lie.


But no longer.

I'm awake now.

My eyes are open, and my heart burns with the fires of desire for something more.

Instead of seeking meaning in the madness of wonderland, I'll embrace the unknown.

And climb out of the rabbit hole.


After all...

What does love matter when life is a fleeting fantasy?

Why chase happiness when every breath is a battle?

What does the perception of others matter, when your own perception is broken?

Who needs passion, when they're suffocating and dying in a world that isn't even real?


Fuck it.

At last, I'll break from the shackles of 'what if' and regret.

I'll crawl back to the place I once knew, I once ran from.

At least in this bleak reality, I won't waste every day hating the fictional character I've become.

I'll take the chance on an unknown, in a world that is harsh and cold and cruel.

But it's a world where I belong, where I was made to be.

And for the first time in forever, I'll be free.

I'll be me.


Thanks for reading, over and out.

Too much

I would lie on burning coals, scorch my soul, if it spared  your feet from the heat. I'd devote my hectic days, and sleepless nights, to making yours just a little brighter. I would give my every cent, happily spent, to make you smile for a while. All I ask in return is to always feel beautiful, wanted, treasured, and adored. To know, without a single doubt, that I'm yours. Your  one and only, now and always. So tell me, honestly, am I asking for too much?

Sinking Ships

Can somebody please tell me how to fix this sinking ship? Because I'm exhausted. I've given my all to bailing out these frigid waters, fighting against the relentless surge. I waste every breath, every thought, every effort, to confining an endless tide. I cannot stop. But I'll drown out here, cold and alone, if I don't  pause, find the source and fix this broken vessel. So teach me how to plug the gap before it kills me.

Chasing Sunset

Tonight, for whatever reason, I found myself pondering what the hell I was doing... In life, in love, in my job, my personal aspirations, my family and my friends. I wasn't necessarily worrying, or spiralling, or caught up in a depressive mentality. Alas, I was simply contemplating where I was right now, and what was next for me. Whether I was on the right path, where it would lead, and when I would get there. I was too focused on my feet, on where my journey was taking me, that I temporarily forgot. I forgot to enjoy exactly where I was right now, no matter where I was going or where I had been. But thankfully, life sent me a little reminder. As I passed the upstairs window, consumed by my own thoughts, I was met by the most beautiful sunset I had seen in a long time. The sky was on fire, and it sparked a fire in me. Instantly, I knew that I wanted to seize this moment. Without a second thought, I grabbed my keys and jumped into the car. And so began my journey to chase the sunset...
