Because of when
You want
To run
Yelling happily
To the town
But you
Don't
Have
The
Energy.
So instead
You walk
Slowly
Down the path
To the town
To a small well
And you join
The queue
For
Water.
Because of when
You reach the front
And the man
Guarding the water
Like it's diamonds
Or pearls
Says
We don't give our water
To
Strangers.
Because that's all you are.
Not a thirsty
Desperate
Child.
Just
A
Stranger.
