I call on my ancestors and say thank you for all you endured
so that I could be here.
I appreciate you.
I break the chains you carried through
the generations.
It stops right here, with me.
I know some of you don’t understand, some envy, some anger,
but it is my time now.
I release the bonds, chains, trauma, patterns and
anything that is holding me back
anything that held you back
so that we can blossom.
I know some of you celebrate with me, clap my successes, weep
when I fall down…
It is because of you I get back up again
It is because of you,
I push through
We evolve and grow – each generation because of the works of the hands of the last generations.
To my great, great, great, great, greats.
I honour you. Each one of you,
those that I knew
and those of you that I will never know,
To all of you.
I know you
in my heart
And you know me
And together,
unity.
