"Joke's on you Death. The Black Girl lives in this one."
"Sorry I Missed Your Call, I Was Trying To Kill Myself" is a poetry collection about mental health, race, self-love, and cultural identity. Drawing from the personal experience of a Black Woman in America who has long been expected to be strong, these poems explore what happens when that strength begins to crack.
This collection speaks openly about mental health, giving a voice to the topics that often go unspoken. This piece is a love letter to every person who has ever felt small, overwhelmed, and othered. Through poems on heartbreak, self-reflection, and social justice, Ewurakua brings the reader on a journey out of survival mode toward softness, healing, and, eventually, peace.
"I unravel myself here in hopes that some bits put you back together."
