Reprieve
by Jen Wright

Heal, my heart!
Heal, my darling.
The scars are rough,
The tissue’s raw,
But pain
It has subsided,
So, heal some more!

See, my sombre mind!
See brightly,

The Struggle
by Samson Oloto

They told us to grow
Told us to be men
Responsibilities abound
All you have to meet
We wake up at dawn
Eyes heavy from a lack of sleep
We enter the streets
With millions of people like us
All in a race, and a constant struggle
To meet up with expectations

A song
by Wieslaw Musialowski

Translated by Przemyslaw Musialowski 9/28/2019

Dream, my Love, dream life,
let the night not scare you anymore,
we survived harder days before,
we survived more difficult years.

I could only give as much as
life itself was offering
when I still had enough strength

Aries
by Kyle McAfee

Perspective is a hell of a thing.

Meeting her was like looking into the eyes of a phoenix.
Soaring through a forest blanketed in darkness
Fire illuminating the night sky,
Radiating a gradient of yellows and reds,
While burning down the ferns and pines that block her path.
Too beautiful not to stare
But also, too dangerous to linger.

A Race with My Mind
by Yasmeen Kamel

The stars don't shine as bright tonight,
Their distant glow can't feel the fight,

The struggle to keep it together,
And not feel under the weather,

The struggle to keep a smile on my face,
When it feels like I'm in a race,

A race with my thoughts and emotions,

Now That
by Ghairo Daniels

NOW THAT

Now that the struggle exists
in commemoration meetings in museums
Now that soldiers can play with their dogs
Now that our heroes sing hymns in heavens
Now my love is even !

As the aspiring write story or song
or mothers play ping-pong too long

Pomelo
by Kimani Hare

An even thicker rind of bitter pith,

Estranged from the serenity that lies outside its comprehension.

For what resides within is a supple flesh dissonant to its confines,

Exuding a sweet nectar that remains clothed in the abstract.


But the bitter fruit thrives in its circumstances.

The 'Only Child'
by Nad Sof

The 'only child'—
the one who must get all the attention,
the child whose heart is pulled in endless directions,
caught between love and expectation.

The 'only child'—
the one who struggles to understand her parents:
why her father’s anger burns so hot,
only to hear it’s because he loves her.
Why her mother’s tears spill,
