AGE: 19
EllaMae, Creative, Genuine, Perceptive Lover of great books, the stars, and strawberry cheesecake Who wonders what a straight line can be turned into Who fears not being able to answer her ancestors prayers Who loves to travel far beyond the reservation Who would help you see life from a bird’s view Who has roots that run so deep not even the toughest storm would make her budge Who wants to see everyone shine because everyone deserves it. Born in Pendleton, and raised on the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation.
I wonder if people ever realize there’s more to see beyond what the eyes can perceive They are quick to judge and so naive without the thought of perception Everything you see and hear shouldn’t be an acception Not everything you see is actually what it seems There’s more depth to the sea I’m not better or any worse I’m just trying to break the curse With the love and respect That was shown to me I do it for the ones who came before me I’m not going to be silenced until they remember me.
