Remnants of a Shattered Past

 

 

Lost in the folds of deception

laced with faulty perceptions,

avoidance of responsibility,

no praise for amazing resiliency.

The use of substances to numb the pain,

slipping quietly into the rain.

 

Depression is only part of the solution.

Desperation not leading to resolution.

Facing the angst of despair,

caseworkers try to repair,

the damage done by the unaware.

 

Oppression forced one to pick a side,

while others were along for the ride.

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Shame and

Malignant Trauma,

a large part of this unresolved drama.

 

Who’s willing to step up to the plate

for those who cannot afford to wait?

Historical trauma has taken its toll,

while Indian people were forced into

                                                    a subservient role.
