Make A Wish, Now Make It Come True Poem by Shannon Wade

Make a wish, now make it come true
A wish that taps deep into the bed of your brain
Revealing the essence of your inner being
Your inner being reveals its true habitat
You are strong
You are pure
This is you
Don’t let anyone still your treasure young girl
That ruff Dominican accent snarls
I walk on, never stopping to catch my breath
But then my heart pounds within my chest
That’s guilt my love!
And how he pounds oh so clearly
How much guilt can one have?
How much pain will I bare?
Before I decide to rise from my distinctive arrangement with a scandalous lady by the name
Vice
She wore my heart around her neck
I became her follower
But like Oliver I’ve adopted a new way
No longer an orphan abuse by the world
I have evolved into a pearl
