                         Written by Yong Jie Xin Jr2Z(1)




                         I grew up in a fantasy,

                         Believing in Cheshire cats and magic.
                         Thinking it was my destiny,
                         To live a life, happy and romantic.




                         I walked through forests of daggers,
                         And danced with the mighty kings.
                         I chatted with pixies and dragons,
                         Saved the land and befriended rare beings.




                         Once, I had tea with the Hatter,

                         On a sunny summer afternoon.
                         He told me about the realms getting stranger,
                         And that I had to leave Wonderland soon.




                         Suddenly, I felt a pain so deep,
                         It hurt my heart, it hurt so much.
                         It drained my soul, a wound so deep,

                         Leaving me empty to the touch.



                         Then, I awoke, surrounded by plain rooms,

                         Dazed by the frames of my imagination.
                         I do not belong to the shelves of tomes,
                         For my life is just a boring non-fiction.
