Wishing Well Fairy Tale
March 6, 2019
I fell into a
Wishing well.
Everyone
Wishes me well,
But it gets hard to buy
What they're trying to sell
After a while.
I fell into a
Wishing well.
I can't
Wish myself out.
I fell into a
Wishing well
I can only wait it out--
Wait 'till morning
When I awake
From the nightmare
That is my mind
At night.
I fell into a
Wishing well.
Some days
I'm able to
Be a normal human--
Even feel like one--
Until I lose sight
At night
And then
I fall into the
Wishing well.

The wishing well is being stuck, but everyone saying it will all be okay eventually and what I’m facing will get better. The time I believe it is in the morning when I’m able to climb my way out until I fall back in the next night.
