KABANDA

I once caught myself staring in a mirror,
The funny thing was that I looked different.
I was clean, well dressed all of those things we care about.
But for once, I took a look at how the past, the present
and the future are shaping my existence.
Throughout these ten following self-portraits,
I describe how I felt.
And I believe as long as I understand who I am,
and why so, I will always be the master of my reality.

Inspired by Decolonising the Mind by Ngugi wa Thong’o
