I once fell down a rabbit hole I don’t recall the pleasure of meeting 

I was taken by surprise 

It was as if the earth tricked me and swallowed me whole 

The faster I fell the less I became aware of my surroundings 

All I could feel was the intense fear of oblivion 

What lies below me?

How much further would I fall before I plummet to my death? 

If I close my eyes will this all disappear? 

Chronic adrenaline wrapped around my throat 

It’s grip secured, squeezing tightly without ceasing 

The end of this fateful disaster doesn't seem to be near  

I take a deep breath, inhaling through the panic

Surely this must be the end I can taste it 

The sky opened up, extending a hand down my way

Yet I refused to take it 

I decided I was ready

Does giving in to the fall make one a coward?
