Wonderland
December 5, 2014
I walk into the city alone
Dreading what awaits
Every thought of it a small dagger
Dripping with poignant purple blood
Instead I find
A pair of sparkling heels
In front of my back door
And as soon as my feet step into them
I found Wonderland
The ordinary was now lost in it
But after a few wondrous glimpses
My feet tenderly touched the norm
The sparkle was now gone
And all I could feel was numb

Some of the inspiration came out of my own mind, often while doing something as simple as pacing around a room. One line in particular was inspired by the song "wonderland" from Taylor Swift's 1989.
