Tell it to the Wishing Well

I won't waste wishes
nor will I whine
you know the kind
of thing
revolving around
appearance 
love 
self.


I'll accept a penny
to throw down a well
I'll blow a dandelion
or follow a shooting star
but to you
and you
I'll try keep it to myself
for petty problems
don't need to fill up
other people's time. 

Waves

Wave after wave

pushing against my mind

when I'm trying to find 

an answer

in an endless ocean

Dive the bottom

to try find treasure,

something to hold on to

Not drowning 

instead it's up then down

fighting the waves

trying to keep a clear head.
