A little while back I tried my hand at the big homie Bryan’s “A 5 Minute Me” project. It was really introspective and I enjoyed the drawing but LOVED the writing. I had never wrote at all. It was something that I felt free doing though, no pressure just uninhibited thoughts. I was just working away on Word and decided I wanted to try this 5 minutes of writing again. I found a 5 minute song on my laptop so I could time myself and just wrote. It’s not long but since I promised to be more personal I figured I’d share.

Ode to Mary J

“You took a little bit of life from me,

All it took was a little bit of light from me,

Locked my body, and trapped my mind,

Unknowingly solitarily confined,

Thoughts higher than the divine.

Trapped behind bars of smoke,

Caged while my dreams provoke me.

Inside the mirror lies my greatest enemy.”
