Scream―Dana Alh

A void in my chest brings me so much misery –

A feeling that only a scream could heal.

A scream is no more than a loud voice coming out of you –

to fill you.

When words fail and cries no longer feel useful, scream.

A scream, comes out as a sound so loud.

A scream, is a collection of emotions and words that are hidden

too deep within.

To let out a scream is to rid thyself

of all tension

of all sorrow

of all fear

and of all hatred.

To let out a scream is to allow thyself

to find serenity

to find happiness

to find peace

and to find love

again.

To scream is to fill the void in your chest

and to be back at rest

to be the person you have always been

except now with greater maturity, and undefeated.

To scream, is to renew your strength.

Fire―DareenSami

Where do you go? When the whole world decides to break you instead of breaking its surface for air. When the weight of a million suns is balanced between your shoulder blades. When the darkness screeches the planet because you appear and the sun rises when you don’t. Who do you hold on to? When the people close to you cut the ropes and leave you falling over and over again. The people that once gave you hope that they’d sacrifice everything for you but then again, you were their only sacrifice. Where do you run? When all the great demons dance upon your skin and the hell fires come to get you from all parts of the world. You run to yourself, you hold on to your own dreams and faith. You’ve got fire much bigger than the fires of the whole planet and you can make it. Burn who seises to see that in you, burn them oh for the love of god don’t make them break into your soul trying to contain the flame that started it all, burn like a million suns. Make them wonder how you’re t...

Skin―Aron M.

What a strange thing. Skin. How it can quite literally define a persons worth. So many different types of skin. Black skin, white skin, tan skin, light skin. All only a melanin pigmentation, something that seems to be so simple and basic yet has a much more complex and intricate understanding for most. It is known to have cause multiple social imbalances in time. Tattooed skin, pierced skin, oh the amount of stereotypes they place on them. Scarred skin, flawed skin. How must they fear the laughter behind them or the stares in front of them. It’s funny how something as simple and as basic as skin can literally be the reason why someone didn’t get a job, or someone was being picked on. It could be the reason why skin-lightning creams are bought for seven year old “dark” girls. How some people refuse to sit next to a darker person just because of the melanin in their skin. How can something as simple as skin be the root of so many of our problems? I sit here, as I trace my grandmoth...

Skin―DareenSami

I’m sorry that the tears in your eyes can never rain on the lands of your cheeks. That the skin On your hands Is as rough And dry As the leaves In autumn. I’m sorry For the many Times you wished Someone Would plant Flowers in the Dryness of your Skin and water Them everyday. And mostly, I’m sorry Myself For there Came a Time when I too Abandoned The soul Beneath the Skin.
