The Fading Wonderland

The Fading Wonderland Once so bright, a world of play, Laughter rang, kept fears at bay. Candy paths and skies so blue, A place where dreams were made for you. Step by step, the light grows thin, Whispers creep beneath your skin. Painted smiles begin to tear, A hollow gaze, an empty stare. Then a shift—a sudden fall, Shadows dance along the wall. Through the maze, the echoes call, A truth too dark to bear at all. Each checkpoint holds a voice in pain, A cry of loss, a mark, a stain. The world once soft, now cold and grim, A mirror of the hurt within. No way back, the path is set, A wonderland you won’t forget. For in its depths, you’ve come to see— The scars of life, the weight of me.
