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.
