It's a cry that echos through the years
The pain etched on each generation
I've been told it's history, that I am
A hundred and fifty years too late
To try and feel some type of way
But the hole in my heart wont seal up
It hurts to know that I've lost so much of
My family
My culture
My language
All because someone wanted gold
All because they needed land
And plots to call their own
Now they tell me its okay
For a school to have the mascot
Dress up in the same clothes as my Teton ancestors
They show the games on the tv
There are crowds of headresses
And dozens of faces cover in paint
Their "war cries" echo through the stadium
Where they pass a ball from one end to the other
And during half time you can watch the redman
Run and hop and holler
Impersonating a warrior in his prime
Its sad that these people see no wrong in these acts
"Its a tradition!" they claim
"Something thats been done for ages"
Cue the bitter laughter
Its a point thats proven true
Just grab an American history book
And flip to the beginning
There will be hundreds of tales
About the fight against these brown native men
And even after the war was won
They continue to earse the brown from his skin
They locked the people on strips of land
And took the children to boarding schools
Where they where told
How to dress
How to speak
And even how to live
They took their names
They took their homes
They even took their words
And all the while the Caucasian man was chanting
"Kill the indian, save the man"
Called it a dull and dirty brown,
Wished fir the deep blue of an ocean,
Where admirers hearts would drown,
And it all pained me when I realised,
You'd never see it like I do,
The way your eyes hint at a story,
That I want to read right through,
They hold specks of stolen sunlight,
That you'd miss with just one glance,
And a depth of raw emotion,
That can freeze you in a trance,
They're a fix of melted chocolate,
When I'm craving something sweet,
But hold a gaze that's so unwavering,
That I find it hard to meet,
I fall right down the rabbit hole,
When I look into your eyes,
The brown of earth's unfetted beauty,
That I yearn to memorise,
When I was tired of not belonging, they made me feel like I'd been found, and I hope you never say again, that your eyes are simply brown. -e.h

Golden
leaves looked brown to me
The world has less
colour
without
you
I just changed the colours
Its in my D.N.A
Step by step and brick by brick
Nobody's stoppin me.
they try to shoot me down but im invincible. I think you've made a mistake.
I am a WARRIOR.
Am I the only one who repeatedly checks in the mirror to see if their eyes have mystically changed to a more attractive color?
Apples on trees. The
best ones are at the top
of the tree. Boys dont want
to reach for the good apples
because they are afraid of falling
and getting hurt. Instead they get
the rotten apples on the ground
that aren't as good, but easy. So the
apples at the top think something
is wrong with them, when infact
they are amazing. They just
have to wait for the right
boy who will risk
everything, who's
brave enough
to climb
all the way
up to the top
of the TREE♥♥
