girl in the well - written on the bus ride home

She’s leaning over the side of

The well

Looking deep into the water

Rain falls

She starts sitting in the shadows

That draw

Her little strength away from her

Away from the light and into fear

Into the abyss

Of her tears

She’s fallen over the side of

The well

Looking around her

She falls

She starts kicking and trashing

To stay

Afloat for her dear life here

Letting go is not an option near

Down she goes

Seems like years

She’s gotten up out of

The well

Looking back at the water

She smiles

She was so closed on receiving

The grace

Awaiting her before she floated

Just to drift and wait for fate

Unfolded it is

No more an abyss
