I have lived in a wonderland
And that wonderland
is now revealing
its truer, uglier parts
It enticed me
with pretty words
shiny illusions
and warmth
It is a warmth
I've never felt before
A warmth I used to
deem myself unworthy of.

It swooped under me
Made me feel special
After scaring me
the Wonderland
lured me back in
charming up
the warmth again
But now
I have been
distanced from the Wonderland
The spell has
warn off
The splendor
soured

So now that
I realize
the scary parts
are actually its foundation
instead of just
wallowing ghosts
I don't know
If I can keep
going back
knowing of the darkness
that lurks beneath
the surface
I don't know
If I can
keep it from
collapsing
before
crushing me.

So frightening
I have grown
to feel at home
within the wonderland
for the first time
and I don't know
if walking away
will mean I will be
stepping to something better
My thoughts of future
has been set
on life within Wonderland
Am I ready
to take a leap
Away from it?
This is the poem I wrote which ultimately helped me in the decision making process in ending my 7 month relationship. Please enjoy and let me know what you think! I know I RARELY post so I'm still a little rusty.

We often choose the beautiful lies... But realizing it's a lie is an important step towards walking away from it.
