    About this ebook

    Welcome to Wonderland - a strange and new place where everything is upside down, where everything you thought you knew has changed and where every single thing you see is scary, amazing, wonderful and terrible. All at the same time.
    Getting lost in this place means you have no way back: you can only move forward and start your journey, hoping you'll find your way around without getting eaten alive by the strange creatures you find along the road.
    These poems are the result of this journey.

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      Lost in Wonderland

      To everyone who inspired these words.

      They were meant for you.

      This is what I meant to say all along.

      To everyone who has ever felt lost.

      I hope you realize the freedom you have gained.

      Intro

      Hi there. My name is Lucia – nice to meet you. You may call me Lu, if you wish, or whatever else you like. I just don’t really like my full name.

      I thought I would introduce myself, since you’re about to read something that is so close and personal for me. I mean, you’re about to get to know me… it seems only fair.

      Let me tell you something about me, then. I think we should start with basic facts.

      Feel free to skip ahead if you wish.

      Sky blue is my favourite colour. I was born in July. I love handwritten letters. I’m a wishful thinking extraordinaire and I have a talent for complicating things.

      Anyway, back to the reason why we’re here – you and me.

      First of all, thank you for reading this. I suppose it is the biggest cliché of the world when I say that these pages are very important to me, but it’s true.

      It took me four years to write this book. I cannot count how many times I’ve deleted everything and started again from the beginning because I wasn’t satisfied with the results. I was one step away from publishing it, last year, but then my life changed all of a sudden… and I guess my writing had to change, too, if I wanted to be completely honest with myself.

      Being honest with myself while writing is vital, for me. I think that explains why writing hurts so much and then, at the same time, why it heals you so much.

      These pages of scribbled thoughts are the words I wanted to say when I should’ve said something and yet I either stayed silent or ended up saying the wrong thing because I was too scared, too hurt,
