Wishing Well
Wishing Well
Where are you going?
Hidden underneath your pen?
If patience is a virtue
Take your time and count to ten
Well if your doing fine
You know they’ll try
To pull you down
And when your always smiling
A jester doesn’t need a crown
Are you looking for the freedom
To live the way
You want to choose
Well be careful how your treading
And certain
Some will hope you’ll lose
You open up your heart
A scream is louder than a yell
But keep all your hidden secrets
In the bottom of your wishing well
How many faces see you?
Remember, they can’t see inside
Maybe you would let them
If only, but they never tried
You wonder the impossible
Needing someone close to tell
What happened to encouragement
Can you hear the distant bell?
You open up your heart
A scream is louder than a yell
But keep all your hidden secrets
In the bottom of your wishing well
Lee Rice
(2012)
I wanted to write something about jealousy and how people can sometimes
not accept you for who you are.
