Overflow
February 1, 2024
Written by Cara Michaels from Russell Sage College — Troy — NY
my paint chipped nails spill words onto the page
what was inside overflows, a dam breaking under the weight of alliterations and metaphors
the deadly stare of Medusa rests on my back
tattooed into my skin, the ink of her snakes boiling in my veins
i become venom to those who burn me
turning them into stone ensuring they never hurt again
A series of monologues extracted from this play, written by Amna Ahmed, Myra Matovu and Siriin Hussein
Read on for stories by students from: Gladesmore Community School and Mulberry Academy Woodside: Kymaani Gordon, Lara Gul, Norshae Lin, Gracie Murphy, Madihah Murshida and Alyssa Hibbert.
