I Feel The End Coming: the day-to-day of mental illness

Comics by Amelia A. J. Foy

It’s hard to explain how much my mental health impacts my day-to-day life, because it’s not visible most of the time. It’s mundane. Pervasive. It doesn’t have to be “triggered” necessarily. It can me in the most mundane activities that I feel it strongest - like waking up. Or drinking coffee in a cafe.

The Shade of My Rebellion: a poem

poem by: Imani Joseph

Sensuality wears red lipstick Smearing her teeth with scarlet colored paint Teeth that don't turn up in public My dream is to scowl in the streets No one ever saying my smile is beautiful Sensuality wears a red dress That hugs her rolls People knowing she eats her rolls Showing off the rug burns on her knees Scraps on the shins Not wearing stockings The cold wind wrapping itself around her thighs Sensuality’s hair is not pulled into a ponytail Or with a bump creased on to the end But down her back Bone straight Letting boys run their fingers against her scalp Not standing straight but curving her spine into a crescent moon Moving the fat in her hips back and forth Ass jumping with each step Sensuality smells like her Not a boy's sheets
