You pushed me and shoved me and I fell in
I swallowed and choked on the grimy water
I swam toward the surface and to the stuffy air
I coughed out the horrible taste
For hours I screamed and yelled
But no one came to rescue or pull me out
Why did you do it?
What was your reason?
The water and ivy conjured a horrible scent
I began to feel tired and sad and all alone
I finally fell asleep on a jagged stone
A lone wolf howled his lonely song and I woke with a start
Two days went by as I tried to climb the walls
I turned frail and weak and hunger overcame me
Slowly I felt my body and mind lose all hope and energy
My eyelids felt heavy and my body sank into the dark depths of the water
Now I am floating above the doomed well
I no longer feel weak or scared
I am no longer in pain or hunger
But I do wonder what has happened to you
Do you think of me?
Do you feel guilty?
You are not a worry any more
I drift away higher and higher
I am forever free from the well
