A POW Wow of Shadows

by Thaddine Swift Eagle-Johnson

Life is great now...I can't believe the crazy that I was born into. It took me a long time to realize that my entire family was just a bunch of crazy liars, and thieves. The out of control screaming, fighting and the beatings as if they were off their meds...for the "crazies!" They lied to us kids; that were nothing, and will never be anything except a bitch, ugly and a loser. And then stole our hopes and dreams and threw them in the basement. You know that basement in those scary movies where that stupid white girl goes down into...and never makes it back up? And when that wasn't enough to satisfy their ferocious appetites, they stole our ability to fight for our souls. "Me?" I would always wake up screaming in the middle of the night, running from my parents trying to kill me. In my dreams I could fight. I would fight! But they would never stop coming after me. So I would always wake up screaming. Maybe that's why I became a fighter. But who knew that I would end up in a true fight to the death; for my very soul. That was the day the screaming stopped.
