Sorry I Missed Your Call I Was Trying To Kill Myself

"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 in the Black community, naming the pain and 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. Blending the personal and political through poems on heartbreak, self-reflection, and cultural critique, Ewurakua brings the reader on a journey out of survival mode toward softness, healing, and the search for peace.
