MARY JANE THE FORBIDDEN??? By: Oluwajimi .J. Thorpe

Mary Jane a beauty full of mysterious things.

Mary Jane a beauty that can only be gotten from nature.

Mary Jane a beauty that humanity is confused about.

Mary Jane a beauty that opens another part of life.

Mary Jane a beauty that Eve herself knew.

Mary Jane a beauty that makes me wonder if you are the forbidden in the Garden of Eden.

Mary Jane has seven/nine adorable curves on her.

Mary Jane a beauty that has been in the past, present & will be in the future to come.

Mary Jane a beauty that even Great Kings that ruled the earth spoke greater things about.

Mary Jane you are so natural that the CREATOR made you from the earth’s crust.

Mary Jane you are innocent that the CREATOR didn’t put you among the Commandments.

Mary Jane if we are saying you are not beautiful that means we are saying we are wiser than the CREATOR.

Mary Jane it hurts me why they tend not to see the truth in you.

Mary Jane they tend not to understand that the creator wouldn’t create anything that doesn’t have a purpose.

Mary Jane they tend not to understand that you are to be taken as a spice and not the way they tend to take you.

Painful letters By: Marvee

Every time I feel this way This terrifying kind of pain These twitchy palms and muffled sobs These weakened sights and mindless slob I would think of something To put me at ease, anything At times, to leave my world And be someone else, not a dud Often times I would write on plain sheet Write till my limbs felt weak Write till the page is covered in ink Write till the painful times shift. ©-Marvee
