I Will Not Throw Another Coin Into The Fountain Poem by Justin Fitzpatrick

I will not throw another coin into the fountain
For it has never brought riches to me
I will not throw one wish into that water
It echoes nothing of my destiny

I will not throw another coin into the fountain
I do not even wish to keep the change
Even through when I toss it
Ironically things seem to stay the same

I will not throw another coin into the fountain
I will not even let another do it on my behalf
I was told of dreams and desires
All the water did was stay shallow and laugh


I will not throw another coin into the fountain
The change I make, I must make myself
The water will never do it for me
I am responsible for my own wealth
