Once I used to feel dead and sad for there was a large black cloud over me.






I always encourage
humans to write.
Something magical
happens
when using a pen on paper.
Better than words written
via keys.

So I have many 
letters 
from prison
following group work
or
at Training sessions 

poems
reflections
stories
feeling expounded
context worded.

A privilege when
I have permission to publish here.




Once I used to feel dead and sad 
for there was a large black cloud over me. 

I had come from a far away land, 
which no one knew about; 
there was a weird certainty about the people 
for they were different but all the same. 


If I were approached by someone 
I would smile and not utter a word. 
For their faces - smiles 
gave me a great uncertainty.


That's why I didn’t say much 
for I was different in a particular way 
that no one could understand. 


That's why now I still stay away from the people 
as there is a great uncertainty bout them.
