The Braille on Her Skin

   The Braille on Her Skin is an Organization working to end the stigma surrounding mental health through all forms of art. We started because we believe that the arts can bridge a gap between stigma and conversation and help connect people from all areas of the world. We take anonymous and public writing, poetry, art and music submissions from anyone anywhere. We love to hear people’s stories, and we truly believe that everyone matters and that anyone can make a difference. We are here for anyone, and we are always willing to lend an ear. Currently you can find us on: Twitter Instagram Wordpress If you want to submit something, do an interview, have questions about what anything we do, need an ear or just want to say hi, feel free to contact us. We have both Email:[email protected] and KIK: BrailleOnSkin feel free to also send asks and submissions to our page here on Tumblr, and we will get back to you as soon as we can. Be safe and Stand tall loves Winfrey

We Have Been in and Out

We Have Been in and Out

Nadia and I have been off the radar for a while now. Life has happened, and with life, we have a new outlook on what we want to do. We still believe in what the Braille could, and may one day be. But for the last little while, we haven’t had time to make it a reality. We have been posting a lot of our old lovey-dovey stuff, and less of the newer sad stuff, and even less of the newest, more…

Depression is like that one friend. He knows all your secrets, and He knows all of your lies, He doesn’t want much from you, not money or gifts. All He wants is a place to hide, a place to feed.

May you get help, or maybe you don’t, and depression goes away on its own. but you…

44 Minutes and 27 Seconds

It’s barely anything. No one would miss it in the grand time that is life. But a lot can happen in 44 Minutes and 27 seconds. You can bake a cake. Or cookies. You can read a children’s book. Or play the piano. You could drink some tea Watch the sun rise. but 44 minutes is a long time to be away from you. In 44 minutes, my heart starts to hurt. My breathing gets hard. My eyes well up, and I want…

Steady

Sit still, Don't move. Remember your heartbeat. Remember the burn. One lung, then the other One knife, then your skin. Look at the mirror, Try your best not to cry. Look in the mirror, And you said goodbye. Sit still, Don't move. Remember your tears, Remember your bed. Sit still, Don't move. Don't do it: For them. Don't do it: For you. -Jess
