Where's My Wonderland

What happened to my Wonderland?
Did it come crumbling down?
What happened to my happiness?
Did I start to drown?

What happened to my Wonderland?
Has reality hit me?
All this pain
is it real or all in my head?

Always so sad and broken
I tried to leave what's real behind
But as I fell deeper and deeper
into my mind
 I became harder to find

I've found my Wonderland
And I've left you all behind
All you see is a Cheshire smile
and the shell of a Mad Hatter

This poem is actually inspired by a song called Where's My Wonderland? by Blood on the Dance Floor. I decided to twist the song to what I thought it was about.

To The Music Man I've Never Met

Music man I've never met
You make me feel so alive
and I've never seen your face
One can only bet
how hard it is to strive
on very little in this place

They taunt me because I'm a freak
They point and laugh and whisper about me
Your music is the only thing that helps me through
Your music makes their words weak
You make me feel so free
So I guess this is thank you

Of all the things I could never say
those lyrics help me to speak
They and you help me to see there's a better way
Even if I am just a freak

This poem is for many musicians that I listen to. I've actually decided to send it to two in particular because they're my heroes. Unfortunately, I don't know if they'll get it.
