"This work was easy, the type of thing that comes to life through light conversation. Yet what was made is phenomenally heavy and mixed. If I am being honest, I don't what kind of artist I am. I just enjoy making things with people who also enjoy making things and YAYAN is one of those people who makes the process smooth and equal. Although I mention my lack of commitment in this piece, I would say that a loyalty I do maintain is one towards mental health advocacy. This poem came from a place of pain and just trying to figure out how to move forward in despite of it. I hope that at least one person will be soothed by this. Thank you for listening."

This original work is a part of a larger project called "Messy: A Black Spirit Memoir" by Ariel Collier. This is book of stories and poems about the artist's many wild and informative experiences, 7 of which will be released as an EP. Be on the look out for more updates, as she is considering to sell this work as her Genesis NFT.
