I have a memory

There's no better time than now - to induldge in stories from the past; the spoken words that were told from the "Sounds of an Unquiet Mind" - an event from last April 2018 celebrating mental health through music, art, spoken word and science.

I was invited to share the evening with friends of my daughter who had come together to raise awareness on mental health matters. The evening, from the talents of Jamal Khan, Samuel Cole, Emily Harrison, Yasmin Autwal, Lowkey and many more inspired these words!

I have a memory An evening of music & diversity Of words spoken in poetry Defiance of normality I heard her celebrate her differences and anxieties I heard him speak of incarcernation and escape I heard them sing We are strange No one remembers your name I heard him speak of being misunderstood And he said Hold your head up high and see a better day! And we were brought together Not to forget We are one human race His words not mine No matter race, religion or creed Show equality Spread peace And smile!
