Pennys & Nickels

I throw pennys & nickels in the trash just in case some random person finds it and puts it to good use.
It's my way of being a superhero, you never know how that little nickel can affect some ones whole universe.

My first summer stuck in Brooklyn, me and Maggie had gathered up enough change to buy a honeybun at the dehli, that day I met my journey to something bigger than me.

As Maggie was making a tough desicion on which honeybun to buy between the glazed or the white cream on top, I stood in line behind a very tall dark and handsome man. All I knew that my heart was thumping telling me something important is about to take place here so pay attention. He turned around and asked me a question that would change my life forever... "Do you Model?"

At that moment time had stood still, I had let go of everything I have ever known. All my fears, doubts, and playing safe was slowely disaperring and as much as I would fight it my desires would conquer my fears. Desires that I shut out so long ago but woke up everyday with a void. Screaming in a room full of people but no matter how loud no one could hear me. Running in circles only to run into myself. Falling down an Abyss thinking there was no way out.  It was that day of many I would "wake up" and see the meaning of life

The tall dark and handsome man name turned out to be U'kno Tha Don but to me he will always be Jermaine My Brother.
