Words from the Crow's mouth (#Wattys2015)

Don't Wish Upon A Pond

Sometimes you can receive what you wish

But you can't take it back

Because getting it is as hard as it gets

My wish came straight from the well

After it washed out of heaven and straight into hell

I always wanted to swim

So the rain gathered together

And made a pond out of them

Dirty, dark, and just down right putrid

I swam within that pond

And saw reflections of my future

In a non ideal place

I would be given what I want

But I learned to swim that summer

That year of grace

While I swam like a mermaid beneath that water

But still felt out of place

My wish was granted but with a twist

Someone I loved had left and drowned

Leaving me sad and with wist

So take it from me and never wish

Because I once loved the pond

But now it's a b**ch
