14 Renewal and Return: Reverse Poem
Montana Paypompee
My life is a ceremony
was a false narrative I internalized. In reality,
my identity is chained to shame.
The truth I honor is,
Colonial construct will always be superior.
Today, I refuse to accept the statement:
Kinship carries power.
Because I strongly believe,
reconnection is impossible.
So, I say a prayer for those who think
healing can change perspectives.
It took some time to recognize
stereotypes hold power over my future.
it is okay to give up the belief
Things will change.
