The girl in a case is the girl with no soul,
The girl with no soul stares out from the dark,
The girl in the dark falls down the rabbit hole.
Alice can you hear me?
Alice where did you go?
I know you haven't gone so far,
You haven't sunk so low.
The girl in the display case,
Is the girl you want to know,
The girl wont have a happy ending,
This girl will never grow...
Her skin is pale, her mind is weak,
Whats left of her heart is cold.
There's nothing left to do for this girl,
Only try and keep her controlled.
Please tell me what you think

Wow,
Lol,
I freaking LOVE this.
Why?
1) Alice in Wonderland is my favorite book.
2) It is also my favorite movie.
3) I think this is really well written, and it is really freaking creative.
GOOD WORK!

Well, I think she's comparing herself to Alice..mayube
I think the best part is the first line mainly because of the word case. It's ambiguous. I don't know why I like that.
Of course it's only ambiguous until I read that it's a display case. I'm getting--Alice is troubled, obviously, I mean someone with no soul has it pretty bad. Would this person be innocent though? I think that's a factor here, because if you're innocent and without a soul, then it seems unfortunate--sad. But, if you're guilty and without a soul, then it seems condemnable.
I think Alice in the poem is the former. And furthermore, I think this entire poem is about false hope really. In the sense of a terminally ill patient, or moreso one of those people who is without consciousness, but still "alive", rather operating. The title, Wait, and in the second stanza "...won't have a happy ending...never grow" and the last stanza, "nothing left to do for this girl,/only try to keep her controlled"
My Dad always tells me that if he's ever a vegetable he wants me to pull the plug. This poem makes me think about that -
