you throw it out of sight. it comes back. in another hand. you take it. you play the game. you know how to. it's fun. until it's not. you followed the rules. eyes on the prize. you're losing. you don't know if you can play again.

the game @humcreates

[humwrites]

bringing you in, is like, playing with water. wanting to dive, head first, hoping you'll join. i can't help but wonder, what side are we on? is it the shallow end? you're sitting, watching, as my head collides with the bottom is it the deep end? holding my breath waiting sinking to the bottom.

and that’s what it was house made of glass, everyone could see into it and it kept in the warmth, as soon as it shattered cold gusts of air came in.

so, what now? because i was perfectly fine a week ago. because i didn't know. take me back a week. to being 21 and being naive. pull the wool back over my eyes, because i don't know what knowing this will do.

Pastime

you tell them

he’s kind

he’s supportive

there for you

the truth is

he’s in your pocket

the palm of your hand

beneath your thumbs

that means nothing more

than the momentary release

in the silence of the mundance

Water

I sit as still as water that ripples

distancing the way rings develop

at the touch of one’s hand

who touches the surface

I wonder when I’ll hit the shore

my full “rejoicing in our hair” collection!! these were the final pieces for a project for college! ✨💜

“Originally this was a college project. We were to choose a current or past event / article and create a narrative piece from it. I chose the “Natural Hair Ban of Pretoria High” that unfolded back in 2016. I created a set of 6 paintings that depict black cultural and natural hairstyles worn by black people all over the world. The black women here are seen rejoicing in their hair, through expressions of pride, joy and love. Its a direct juxtaposed response to the ban on hair and made to encourage black people all over the world who are discriminated against because of their hair”

theres only one public speedpaint! The rest are all available on my patreon. Please consider supporting me if you enjoy my work 💖
