Indigenous, I Am by Jason Eaglespeaker, Niltooli Wilkins
5.0
emotional inspiring reflective fast-paced

“How do I love the parts
of me that
I don’t even like the sight 
of?
What I see in my mist-
filled bathroom mirror
may differ from what 
others see.”

“I promise if you bare me
your soul,
I won’t see your rawness 
as ugly or weak,
but as wonder and 
strength.” 

The writing in this can really only be described in few ways that are true: powerful, beautiful, and lyrical. 

Even if you aren’t Indigenous, there will be a poem in here that will speak to you.
