Poem- 009, The Wishful Promise
I think more often than not,
A wish is confused with that of a promise.
You wish we could be together, forever
You and me.
I wish that too
So we promise just that.
Me and you.
But you're not a prophet and I,
No oracle.
So why do we promise?
It's only rhetorical.
Forever is so long,
Yet, we lasted only a song.
Maybe they were right,
and we were wrong
Maybe they were right,
it wouldn't last long…
- Kaliyah Myers, a Poem to a soon to be book named, The Mad Project

Turning Pages of Life
Life’s like a book — some parts are good, others not so much. Still, keep turning the pages; you might find the best chapter next. If someone hurts you, choose to forgive or just let it be, but never change who you are for them.
