Oftentimes I ponder
What lies in the wild yonder
Is it just another test
One more chance to prove whose best
Or is it long needed stay
A place to stop and delay
If challenged, I rise to fight
Step forth with all of my might
But to rest is what I seek
Chance to be silent and meek
To lay down my sword and shield
Only tools of peace to wield
Letting anger ebb away
Forget moment live for day
Amazed by the little things
Like the way the wild bird sings

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.
