Wishes

Deep down there is where the wishes grow

Fraught with sorrow and blackened woe

High above the tightly packed lair

We dig and burrow to breathe their air

 

Once in a lifetime a chance appears

For our sacred wish minus our fears

We reach for it blindly without a second thought

Unawares of the cost our wishes have brought

 

Our paths seem clearer now our wishes have come true

There’s nothing more for us to pursue

Static now we stand alone

In the promise land our wishes had shown

 

Yet a heart without a wish can only sink

Back down to the ground within a blink

We always think once our wishes come true

Our lives will be complete but this is taboo

 

A fabricated story told by the masses

To keep us digging for our masters

One day soon we’ll join them there

Deep in their liar with no wish only despair.
