(づ◔ ͜ʖ◔)づ The absolutely true diary of a part time indian(づ◔ ͜ʖ◔)づ




I wrote these poems based on "the absolutely true diary of a part time indian" 

I’m from brain grease,
Speech impediments
Disabilities

I’m from the rez
Not wanted

I’m from a drunken household
Abused by my own family

I’m from a dog murder,
My best friend before Rowdy

I’m from protection from my best friend
No more black eyes

I’m from best friends, turning
Beating me
No more protection

I’m from math class, books older than me,
Turning into anger and frustration

I’m from suspension,
Books flying across the room

I’m from imaginary girls
Fantasizing

I’m from discrimination
Mostly by the whites

I’m from fights and black eyes,
Yellow, blue and black

I’m from toughness,
abuse and alcohol

I’m from Junior,
my best friend

I’m from anger and rage
Lashing out  on anyone

I’m from the reservation
Also known as the rez

I’m from torn households
Torn friendships

I’m from beating my best friend
Anger fills me

I’m from giving up,
On myself,
On junior

Junior is a leader because he went to Rearden, a white school. He was "dying" at his old school, and he was trying to break the cycle, to over power the white people

Rowdy is a leader in his own way because he plays for the wellpinit high basketball team, and he scores all the points, and wins all the games.
