So young and beautiful and so successful

doctors be like "we have no idea what causes this extremely mysterious illness" and the illness affects 1 in 8 women

did you guys see the poem from a couple of days ago in poetry dot org’s daily poem it was so good and a treat to read 

thank you for sharing with everyone. i feel as if i’m meant to see this; my unci showed this poem to me for her lakota literature class asking for help in understanding it. it stood out to me among the many she showed me. not only because of the unique shape which reminded us of stars, of star quilts, their diamonds, and it makes the poem readable from many paths. to me, the author’s words speak of the obligation we have to face the past/present and future even when its difficult, to embrace our grief, to unravel the tragedies of colonialism. it is our obligation as descendants, as ancestors, as stewards and we must do it together. it’s very powerful.
