I am Changing (Mirror, Mirror)

Last night I was hanging with some friends of mine. It was like any other night that we would get together and go out to have a good time, except something was different. I was not immediately sure what it was - but something was lurking in the air.

We went to the club. We saw some of the same people that we usually see, there was no variance. Something in the atmosphere was different. The conversation was the same, filled with cackles and mess. The people were the same, some a little sicker, older, and less intelligent - but that is to be expected.



Ultimately - I realized what was different. ME! I am no longer interested in the simplicities of everything. I aspire for more. I deserve more, and until I get what I deserve - I will just sit here, happy content and by myself (in the happiest capacity that I can). I cannot point out the exact moment when I realized that I was content with my inner me. I look in the same mirror on the wall everyday and see the same Zo. Today, something was different. All of a sudden, I could careless what my mother thinks, what my father thinks of me - I honestly just do not give one damn. I have spent my entire life trying to please people. NO MORE! No more will I squeeze, and shuffle myself around to fit into a tiny mason jar to be preserved as the token child. Guess what - I'm NOT. I'm so perfectly imperfect that it is ridiculous. To my amazement - Im just fine with that. So mirror mirror on that wall, people rise and people fall, if I die before I wake, let me live MY life before it's too late

That's it! I Quit! I'm Moving on!

Sam Cook recorded this old blues track in 1961. We were in a different time back then, but the realities of the lyrics are relevant even today. They were relevant in my life anyway. We connect to our artists by our emotions and experiences. Adele did a cover of the song on her album, 19. Her British accent and obvious sassy attitude gave the song flair and life. This song ministered to me because it gave direct insight on a situation that I was experiencing. I was in LOVE, by myself. There was an agreement to just, "be friends". In the song, there's a line that said, "if I can't have you the way I want you, I don't want you at all." So there it is. Throughout the relationship that I was in, there was a strong time strain. No time for me. No time for us. I can remember a conversation, "...you're not a priority. You're simply on a to-do list." One would think that even sane man would have left then, right? Not my stupid ass. SMH. Th...

A bottle of emotion

I refuse to write yet another love story and be labeled as a writer with lovely thoughts about happiness a bliss. I would prefer to be that brother that writes of truth, the other side, the side less read or shall I say TALKED about because it is less desirable material. No fuck that. I can tell I lost a few of you with that last sentence - so let's try it again. I would prefer to keep it real with the ugly than MAC make-up the FACE you want to see. Or better yet, paint a picture of the most beautiful relic on God's green earth. I'm real whether directly or indirectly. Intelligence is earned, it is free and costs you nothing to obtain. GET SOME! If you read hard enough you'll feel my pain and my intentions and my story. My intentions are not to confuse you, yet USE you to think harder than you thought the day before. I'll be your therapist, come on in. It's here - all right here, you just have to open your mind and receive it. The funny thing about words is t...
