i'm lost.
well,
that's at least what my father tells me
when i speak my opinion.
women and small girls
have been taught
since before the white men took the
natives land
to prison their tongues.
so i sewed my lips;
physically.
and when they asked
why in the world would
i physically sew my lips shut
i simply wrote;
this is what you made me do mentally,
why do you feel different when it's shown physically?
