~An imitation of Mother to Son by Langston Hughes
My dearest friend, let me tell you;
Life is a long, long book.
It has pages torn out
And yellow stains
And long paragraphs
Monsters lurk in every corner, all you must do is...
Look
But still,
I've been flipping the page
And being the hero of my story
And meeting other characters
And jumping, taking daring leaps,
where chunks are missing
So, my dearest friend, don't be discouraged
Your book is unfinished
Be excited, and learn to see the possibilities
Don't back down already
For I'm being my hero,
I'm flipping my pages
And my life has already been a long, long book

PoesieTears well in my eye... Kind of want to cry... But despite it all, I'll still smile *** Oh but hide that smile... Just for a lil while... Cuz society has its expectations
