I give myself,

One minute,

Or so,

To write this poem,

And it’s not going well,

But that’s the thing about all this,

It’s hard to balance it,

The constant stream of thought—

But the need to move my fingers,

And the way I go along,

Is not as fast as my thoughts,

But they get lost in the lag,

And I can’t seem to recall,

Where I was going with this shit,

What the point of it was,

And where I am going with all this,

But that’s the nature of thinking,

Speed writing,

It’s not clean,

Never easy—

But at least I wrote something.

Want to read something longer by me? How about a whole novel! 

“Just Another Chosen One is a blisteringly paced, action-soaked debut from author Brandon Scott, sure to appeal to those who’ve gotten tired of reading the same old stories about the child of prophecy destined to save the world.”
