Did You Miss Me?

It has only been a little while, or at least that is what it feels like, as I am still down this Rabbit Hole, and guess who I found?

Well who, is kinda clear?
But what are you doing here,
Does this place seem familiar...oh dear it does.
That is becauzeeee
It is, of course it is...
Welcome to my madness bubbling like fizz..
It is, it is my Midnight Gems Freak Show
Number Twenty-Nine, but as I lost my brain..
It´s no longer mine.

Last week just got too much for my little head
So the queen took it off and gave it to Alice instead....
How wonderful is this, misery needs company, and madness needs a Rabbit, a Cat, A Caterpillar, and a cute girl in a blue dress.
Preferably a bit chubby.
Found the Rabbit, let´s dive deeper:
Guess that is the girl....but hmm wrong girl wrong rabbit let´s try another hole:
Same rabbit, but I lost the girl, okay, one more try:
I think this is the right hole......And back to normalMadness is catching.....and a merry un-Birthday to me, I tried dçto dig myself out of this hole the whole week but I just kept falling deeper. I am holding on to my head, but it might be better if I lost it because I ate the mushroom

.......and now I feel so Alice again!

Madness Is Catching - Dark Alice

Don´t get me wrong, I love Alice;

But Alice is such a Dark creature, or at least my Alice is, but hey I know what it is to be stuck down a rabbit hole, it messes with your head.

The Sisters Of Mercy - Alice

But let's start at the beginning.... It all started with me being thrown down that Rabbit Hole, I mean we all know this feeling right... right?

Libby Larkin- Rabbit Hole

If not, I felt buried..... I just kept going down and I ended up underground, or upside down, or well shroomed....

Underground - Avril Lavigne

The thing is that I did not find any Wonderland, surrounded by surreality, a world gaslighting behind the looking glass was all that there was for me.Oh darn where did that mouse come from.... can we get a cat to clean up that mouse mistake?

ALICE IN WONDERLAND SONG: Hey Alice - Lyrics (Rachel Rose Mitchell)

Off with her head, became of with her tits last week, and of course that inspired me even more, but does Jabberwocky mean anything to you?

Jabberwocky - Erutan

Let me explain that a bit better because ......Did ring a bell, but let the cat explain why it´s such a fitting poem.

Did you get the Jabberwocky reference? Now let me play it again Sam, but now by this band that played on my well, let's stick to the story, will we?

Omnia - Jabberwocky

And now my friends, if you still did not get the clueless clue about what I am on let me be as transparent as a cheshire cat.

So I hope you cat it now.
Save me, save me, I lost my mind and memory behind that looking glass, and without it, I can not escape what once was called Wonderland, but now is the wasteland left in my separated head.
As said, I am not so little, not so Alice, but lost beyond the mirror of my mind.

The Girl That's Never Been - Escape Key

At least she knows her name, as I lost mine at a Tea Party without Tea, chasing after a WabbitThe weirdest creatures and colors are invited, but I can´t make the cake to get me out of this madwabbitward?

Her Name is Alice - Shinedown

But it´s not me, We Are All Mad Here!
Madder than the hatter, who I will not play today, but the mercury has eaten away on all our brains.
Felting animal fur will make the true cat disappear. But it will leave that grin behind, and it´s okay ....we are all mad here Alice.

Cheshire Kitten(we are all mad here) - SJ Tucker

Just look behind the looking glass, sweet Alice, look hard, look good and tell me what you see....because what you see is not you...it´s me.
Ode To A Cat, how wonderful to be guided by a mad cat with no hat, sometimes just a smile, a wink, to set you straight or straighten your jacket. As long as you know what way to go, you don´t need the cat, but when you're lost, just follow the grin. The worst that can happen is that you lose your head, little Alice....

Cheshire Cat's Lullaby

That cat did so many cameos, he keeps popping up out of nowhere. Who was that cat that popped up where Carebears care?

Cheshire Cat Songs

Did I lose my head?
Melted my brain?
Sniff the Merc and forgot it all, is that what happened to you Alice?
Alice.....?
Alice, what´s the matter?

Terrorvision - Alice, What's the matter?

Were it the pills....the placebos your mummy gave you?
Or....
Is it the story of caterpillars, cats, and well, this furry thingy!

Dear Alice, who is the maddest of us all....? Is it you, the cat, or me?

Encore

I did not know that odd cat got censured, cancelled already, was that thing back then? Or did the truth hurt?

While looking for the truth once again, I lost my way....once again...no more pills, no more mushrooms, party time is over.

Okay, once more, Pink Power!!!!!

P!nk - White Rabbit
