xanax poem

as the darkness seeped in, 

i whispered to myself that it would all be okay. 

the shark-skinned brothers danced around me

 like a demented little freakshow.

i cried out for help

                but no one would listen. 

they screamed out my name

and i tried to scream back.

red cliffs burned like a sacrificial hearth.

         blazing smokestacks and blackened pipelines. 

i wake up to the steady drumbeats of my heart.

the woman in white stands at the doorway.

she asks if i’m ready to confess..

                                      no.

                                                of course i’m not. 

but i do, so that the shark-skinned brothers don’t visit me again. 

                                  and i’m send to my grave

                                                 for those crimes

                                                          i never did.

Artist Paints the Universe and Nature into Black Women’s Hair

Pierre Jean-Louis is a multimedia artist based in New York and Philadelphia, who has built up quite a social media following as a result of his unique works. Jean-Louis paints mystical images of the universe and nature onto images of Black women’s natural hair. His intricate works feature flowers, vines, and even an entire forest, all seamlessly woven into coils and kinks. Jean-Louis even invites his followers to tag him in their photos on Instagram so that he can consider their portraits as well.

Can we talk about the part of mental illness where you constantly have to second guess and question your perception of reality because you can never be sure that what you experience/perceive to be happening is actually happening: 

“Is that person angry at me or is my perception of reality distorted?”

“Is that person avoiding me  or is my perception of reality distorted?”

“Is this situation dangerous or is my perception of reality distorted?”

“Does that person have bad intentions or is my perception of reality distorted?”

“Am I bothering that person or is my perception of reality distorted?”

“Did that person ignore me or is my perception of reality distorted?”

“Does that person dislike me or is my perception of reality distorted?”

People will judge you regardless of what you do. Don’t look to them for validation, simply accept all that you are.
