  I, Too (Stevie's Version)

  

  By Renegadegirl2012, Columbus, MT

  I, too have dreams. I have lived on Crow's land. Walked through alleys, full of hatred and evil. But I smile, and pretend that life isn't as hard as it can be. I speak the language of my ancestors. Hay una luz en la oscuridad. Esperanza. There is a light in the darkness. Ho...

  End of the Chapter

  

  By Renegadegirl2012, Columbus, MT

  I hear complaining erupt all around me, outrage at having to follow rules. I hear your side and his, but try to stay out of it. I hear graduation plans. DJs, balloons, cake. Ribs or brisket? I hear my dad say he's going to miss me, my sister say she won't, but then she brushes a ...

  Don't Forget

  

  By Renegadegirl2012, Columbus, MT

  He's gone. Those words echoed in my head. A cruel reminder. Never letting me forget. Constantly bringing a wave of bitterness, rage, loneliness. I would never understand why God took my best friend. I wanted to run. But I can never run fast enough. Heartache takes over. You think ...

  By Renegadegirl2012, Columbus, MT

  Lips frozen in a seductive smile. Everyday is another chance to flaunt. To be the Barbie she always wanted to be. Beautiful. Gorgeous. Loved. Desired. This is how its supposed to be... or so she thought....

  The Girl in the Mirror

  

  By Renegadegirl2012, Columbus, MT

  Finding myself is nearly impossible. I'm searching day after day, growing desperate to know who I am. I don't know the girl in the mirror. Who she is or what she likes. She haunts my thoughts. Her grief is reflected in my eyes. Her rare smile flashes across my face. Her burde...
