Wishes Vs Promises

Wishes can change the world. 

Promises can change your world. 

Wishes can become dangerous. 

Promises can become lies. 

Wishes will follow you forever. 

Promises must be followed forever. 

Wishes are magical. 

Wishes I repeat over and over.

Which makes me crazy. 

Because wishes are magic. 

And magic isn’t real. 

Wishes that never come true…

Keep me disappointed.

Promises I forget about…

Keep everyone else disappointed.
