Pain changes people. It makes them trust less. Overthink more, and shut people out.

Life is about balance. Be kind, but don’t let people abuse you. Trust, but don’t be deceived. Be content, but never stop improving yourself.

I Stand
I Defy
On My Hands
Yoga is an Afrikan
art form that moves
the frame and the picture
It’s a practice that is universal in its ethos
Black men have been moving the earth with stars in their eyes
and the wind as a tool
To stretch and breathe
To breathe and invert
To invert and rest in pose
They say black men are stiff, rigid and inflexible
Some of us believed this
by remaining breakable
A suit became armour
The kind that hid our agility
The lies we bought
The dawning of the age of Aquarius is here
We have long been movers and shakers
It’s time to return to the dance of the Universe
When we stand it’s not only on our feet
We create kingdoms on our hands too
My broad shoulders speak
My core holds the cosmos
My flexibility is legendary
I stand
I Defy
On My Hands
I lift life standing on air
