THE HIDDEN THING- POEM
This episode is the first of the Wordbead by Buki Poetry series on identity. For a long-time we have focused on how we present externally especially with platforms like Facebook and LinkedIn which require that we focus on curating an external story.
The challenge is to look at how we present internally to ourselves. What truths or lies do we perpetuate within ourselves to maintain the world we have built?
With The Hidden Thing I explore issues raised by the questions my daughter asked me in 2018 about her physical features most notably her soft brown curly afro hair. Her questions made me realise that all children see the things we think are well hidden. Our shame, pain, guilt, disappointment, all the emotions we feel or believe are well tucked away from their enquiring eyes they internalise if left unaddressed.
Only the truth can sets free. Enjoy
