I wake up in this unfamiliar place
Surrounded by all these people I thought I knew.
What is all this,

Double meanings and hidden messages,
I must make sense of this deadly game
Or I shall die.

I am trapped
In this deadly dance of words
Where is the world I used to know?

Have I fallen down the rabbit hole
Into the real world?

Oh how I wish that I could climb out of this strange Place,but once in,
You can never leave.
Wish that I could just climb

This is really really cool, i always love an Alice in Wonderland reference. I think your ending could have been stronger, or phrased differently, but i still liked it :) 4 and a half/5 :)

I could relate to this a lot! The people that you thought you knew quite well, all of a sudden they change(show their true face) and you just wish you had never entered into their world of politics and drama! I loved the irony in the forth stanza! Great job! :)

This is simply spectacular. Seriously. the message, metaphors, and allusions to Alice in Wonderland. Brilliant. My favorite line is "dealy dance of words". Awesome *Barney Stinson style*
