Much to think
much to feel
too much to know
much to conceal.

Places to hide
places to cower
places for time
places of power.

People to miss
people to like
people to know
pig's head on a spike.

no one is to blame except the billboards and ads and standards
no one is suffering except the girls in the showers and the boys in the changerooms and the people in their rooms
no one is helping except the conscience of your conscience
no one is changing because we are afraid of something.

she talks about everything not bothering her
she cries alone about everything bothering her
she takes pictures of her pretty self
and she envies all the others who are just as pretty and just as self conscious
how to i tell her she is aphrodite
how do i make her believe me because its true

how do people survive
when society kills their souls and culture?
how do people get away with torture?
how do you -
how do you move on when
things just stay the same?
horrific, deranged, completely wrong things happen -
have happened, are happening,
you know why?
me neither.
there is nothing you can do, say, give,
to make it go away.
what would you want if someone took your child? you'd want your child back.
I know this isn't much,
but i'm sorry.
if anyone is offended or anything i will get rid of it right away - I hope i didn't offend anybody by doing this but I 100% understand if i do.
This was about the residential schools and recent discoveries. I know everyone who suffered from these deserves way more than an apology, they deserve their life back, their culture, their children, their pride of who they are. I hope to be way more aware of how effected people are by the oppression of society and how terrible Indigenous people were/are treated. I feel so ashamed for what the past has done and so horrified that people got away with it, so horrified that so so so many people were effected and are effected and are suffering the consequences while we do nothing. This is genocide and I am so so so sorry for being unaware of how racist and rude this society is. I know this is nothing, that it doesn't give you back what you deserve and you deserve the world. Once again, I don't mean to offend anyone but if I do or you want me to remove this post I absolutely will.

You are so strong, hold so much worth to this world, you belong, you matter.

When you are a musician
you have every songbird and melody.
When you are a philosopher
you have every question like clockwork.
When you are an artist
you hold every delicate stride and stroke in your soul.
When you are a poet
you have every avidity with words.

When you are a person,
what do you have?

Her
When Innocence has a baby,
born in Spring,
they name her
"Loveliness"
"Pure"
"Precious"
"Her"

What do you think of when you think of beauty?
Please tell me you think of yourselves. Your beautiful, handsome, pulchritudinous selves.
