Comatose This work has been published in the Teen Ink monthly print magazine.

By
We’re hanging on a gossamer thread of lies and fairy-tale dreams.
You’re Alice in Wonderland; a cheshire in a tree
Set adrift in the sea of doubt
Laced with traces of the harsh reality
I’m a mouse in a maze of mind
e’re chasing the cheese
Spinner of fate, the web shorn
Bitter tears of regret; things realized too late
The mad queen paints blood on roses and tears up dreams
chasing a disillusioned reality
Trapped of own; wished free
Lost and alone
in my cave of mind
my cave of mind
one and my own

This is brilliant. You're very talented with the poetry flow... Five stars!
What really got to me was the way the title contrasts with the content, and yet makes perfect sense. It's beautiful.
