Lost Things

The Rabbit Hole
Anonymous

The little girl
Just could not sleep
Because her thoughts
Were way too deep.
Her mind had gone
Out for a stroll
And fallen down
The Rabbit Hole.

Highway of Happiness
e.h

I got lost on a highway of happiness,
Took a wrong turn on the road of regret,
And I found myself walking through memories,
That I'd been trying hard to forget,
They grew out of cracks in the sidewalk,
Found their way up the bricks of the walls,
With thorns grown so sharp that they promised,
To pierce my young heart should I fall,
These memories spread endlessly outwards,
Until they were too far away to be seen,
But as I bent down to study some closer,
I found something nestled between,
There tucked beneath all the brambles,
Were memories I'd long since forgotten,
Pieces of proof that my lifetime,
Wasn't just made of things that were rotten,
These flowers had slowly been growing,
From the moment that I had been born,
But they'd almost lost sight of the sunlight,
When I'd only remembered my thorns,
As I stumbled back onto the highway,
I knew there was much more to learn,
But in a world that is fearful of failing,
I was glad that I made a wrong turn.

Painting the Roses Red
Anonymous

The flush of red from her
Blood filled the sink as
She reached down and
Dipped her fingers in it.

"I'm painting the roses red,
I'm painting the roses red.
I have to paint the
Roses Red,
Or else it'll be
Off with my Head."
-Alice

Lost Boy
Anonymous

I am a lost boy from Neverland,
Usually hanging out with Peter Pan,
And when we're bored we play in the woods,
Always on the run from Captain Hook.
"Run, run, Lost Boy," they say to me,
"Away from all of reality."


Everything Stays
Rebecca Sugar

Let's go in the garden,
You'll find something waiting
Right there where you left it lying upside down.
When you finally find it,
You'll see how it's faded.
The underside is lighter when you turn it around.
Everything stays
Right where you left.
Everything stays
But it still changes.
Ever so slightly,
Daily and nightly,
In little ways
When everything stays.
