brown girl.red wrists

playing russian roulette with that rope, pills and knife
thinking which is the quickest way to take a life?
brown skin. red wrists
no more feeling exists 
what does a brown girl have to be depressed about?
too many bad days. lost count
cannot talk about it in the community 
screaming for help. desperate need for therapy 
parents are the worse supporters 
they ignore their ill daughters
have to be the best. so much pressure 
only career doctor or professor 
lack of self esteem 
forced to live out their dreams
oblivious to how unhappy they are
crying to sleep. covering the scars
never ending cycle
of denial
“how can my brown girl be suicidal?”
“where is her passion for survival?”
brown skin. red wrists
no more feeling exists
