The Little Girl Who Screamed
By Bria Fairchild
You would be surprised by what they took
She's embarrassed by the way she looks
They get praised
While she gets hazed
She has to be careful with her hair
Yet they are told they have flair
How can I make you understand?
That I am not living in a dreamland
I am in pain and hurting
Worrying about the young girl who’s uncertain
Trying and failing to understand why she isn't enough
While others are just living it up
I find myself alone at night
Replaying your careless slights
Your smiles ever so wide
Unaware of my ever breaking mind

Religious Freedom Granted in 1978
What traditions are you most thankful for and why? Rupi Kaur's Gratitude Writing Prompts 1. Enormous Gratitude for the return of religious freedom for American Indians in 1978. The same year I got into recovery. That year I could smudge, go into the sweat lodge, attend full-moon ceremony, pipe ceremony, wiping of tears ceremony, and others.
