RABBIT HOLE
RABBIT HOLE
My life is falling all around me
It’s like I'm stuck in a rabbit hole.
I'm trying to crawl out of it
But I have no control.
I might need someone's help
If I’m getting out of here.
I feel like I am trapped inside
Which just adds to all my fear.
You have mentioned once before
That you will always have my back.
That you would always lift me up
Anywhere that I might lack.
Well I am definitely struggling
And I need a helping hand.
Just lean into my rabbit hole
Reach down from where you stand.
Please stretch your arms down to me
I will pull myself up and out.
When we’re both safely on the ground
I’ll share what it’s about.
Sometimes life gets to be too much
More than I can take.
And I need loyal friends to lean on
That have your back for friendship's sake.
But with you I’m pretty sure
I’ve got the best friend ever made.
You were the real deal from the start
The kind of friend I'd never trade
So thank you for always being here
Every time I make those calls.
Not one time have you let me down
Out of all my many falls.
You’ve taught me that no rabbit hole
Or a pit of my own sorrows.
Will take away our yesterdays
And a life time of tomorrows.
So this poem began with how my life
Was more than I could handle.
But no one else compares to you
Or can even hold a candle.
You are forever here for me
Even when I don't think I need you.
Thanks for being my other half
You are our super glue.
I guess when people are lucky enough
To share space with such an amazing soul.
They no longer need to worry about
Falling back down that rabbit hole.
Because I am eternally protected
By an angel I call friend.
There for all the good and bad
She will be here till the end.
When I was down and out on life
And I asked God for a sign.
He put your light in my pathway
And you still bless me with your shine.
Now let’s go get those glasses out
And enjoy that bottle of wine.
I thank you for your love and support
And I hope you know that you have mine.

The imagery of being stuck in a rabbit hole and needing someone to reach down and help you out is particularly poignant. It speaks to the universal experience of feeling trapped or overwhelmed yet finding solace and strength through the support of a loyal friend. The journey from despair to hope, underscored by the unwavering support of a friend, is both heartening and a testament to the power of human connection.
The progression from desperation to gratitude in your verses highlights how such friendships not only help us through crises but also enrich our lives, giving us the confidence to face future challenges. The acknowledgment of having an "angel I call friend" elevates the poem, suggesting that this friendship transcends ordinary bonds, offering not just help but also a beacon of light in dark times.
Moreover, the poem ends on a note of celebration, moving from the depths of personal struggle to a moment of shared joy with "those glasses out / And enjoy that bottle of wine." This shift emphasizes the healing power of companionship, where the act of sharing and celebrating together marks the overcoming of trials.
Thank you for sharing such an emotional and vivid piece. It's a reminder of how invaluable true friendship is, providing not just support but also a sense of security and belonging that can transform our darkest moments into stories of resilience and love.
