Dysmorphic
See here this reclamation A simple lie; a completed circle That I dare not see In this state, is arbitrary Wash my hands in the bathroom Look down look down Feet like lead weights, clamped to the spot This black skin is not my sin Voices unheard in the innermost din We stand in perpetual…
On The Inside, Baby, It’s True
Recently, the more I speak to people – some new and some I’ve known a while – the more I hear about feelings of varying degrees of depression and anxiety. And when I scroll down things like Facebook feeds, I feel it too. Understandably, we use such mediums to reflect a version of ourselves that…

Sharing a few of my thoughts and experiences of racism, ignorance and fear in an attempt to reach understanding and to change my own narratives as well as those external to me.
Warm Light
This piece consists of me on the tuba and vocals, accompanied by a looped drum track.

Ambition Coalition (and the elephants)
I reckon it’s about time to rebel against the screw-faced success of the ambition coalition I’m on a mission now It doesn’t cost you anything to smile once in a while But that’s probably the issue right there, isn’t it? There’s no value in it Likely I’ll never see a tooth cuz I’m a nobody,…

Notebook Find No.1 THING
When you find yourself thinking long and hard about a thing Know that you are soon to lose it Because the thing about thinking too much about a thing is Your thoughts become transformative Your mind morphs it into some other shit That never really existed anywhere but in there Simultaneously building it up and…
Notebook Find No.2 EARTH
I like to think of the world as upside down Where the sky is the ground And the earth is up above There’s no such thing as love And so there is no hate All people pray to a power above Because up there is the provider of life Up there is the earth Up…
