I Did Not Die by Tebello Mzamo


Silhouettes of a woman and man stacked on top of eachother. The woman is first, looking right, with a snack slithering through her wrap. The man is below, looking left, with a mine shaft wheel on his neck. They are patch worked colored, red, brown, mint green, and pink with no identifying details.

~Her hair which had been relaxed for Christmas, was now shaved off because it was not allowed at her primary school.~

~Only a woman who can relate to our struggles can see and hear us.~

~For a long time, she had been thinking about what it was that she wanted in her marriage. But even now, she still did not know.~

~She had wasted a long time trying to recreate the things she’d lacked in her childhood. She could admit that to herself now.~

~I write sometimes, when I feel my heart breaking.~

~They will hear from the horse’s mouth when I say this is where it all happened.~
