Jakeb Smith

You push me,
and
I plunge down
into the rabbit hole.
No white rabbit to save me,
no potion to drink to help me grow;
I’m left to shrivel
as darkness digests me.
I don’t wanna go,
I belong here with you
in the daylight and the sun.
I deserve to have
rays on our skin,
creating melanin.
Seeing flowers sing,
and cats’ grins.
I scream,
‘Don’t you see that I belong up here with you!’
My words are gobbled up
by never-ending night.
I’m falling fast,
down into the abyss below.
The darkness descends and
It’s all-encompassed.
My last thought is of you —
your candy chuckle fills my ears.
Memory of your scent fills my nose and
I smile as my head is smashing the ground.
“Off with their heads,”
or
crack in his head.
The blackness of night takes over.
