When They're Ready, Let Them Fly
Original poem edited and adapted for vocal.
Dear You,
I cannot hold too tightly to my work. My poetry is an outlet used to shelve quick, fleeting thoughts and shallow, held breaths. My novels are commitments to people I may never meet but I do hope to one day inspire. My work is where I plant all the discombobulated jumble of ideas that have taken root in my head and water them until they blossom to their fullest. So, I release them in one sweet exhalation and create space for more enticing, enriching, energetic ideas that have chosen me to birth them into this world.
This is where I leave you,
Sincerely,
Me.

Blossom
A dead past does not put a halt to a new future. A year later, Kaffy, a highly intelligent, creative, bookish, and preppy Nigerian-Canadian 15-year-old girl was released from juvenile prison. She was arrested and charged with petty theft and assault, and was sentenced to a year in prison. Her sentence was supposed to be 6 months for stealing a lollipop, a chocolate bar, a pack of playing cards, and a bag of Cheeto's cheesies from 7-Eleven, but she received another 6 months for kicking, punching, and hitting another female inmate across the face during an altercation in the canteen.
