My name Alicia Brianne Erickson means 'Noble, Noble Son of Erick' My sir name is Swedish and the other two, English or British. I am a Status Indian under Canada's Indian Act, from a reserve called Nakaz' Dli. We are of the Carrier-Skeenah Nation (or Dakel'th Peoples}. I am now going to be 18 in the next few months (April 2010) . I'm pushing myself to graduate. Currently I am doing grade 11 and 12 studies at my local High-school. I wrote my poems over a three year period in my life that was very turbulent, and destructive. I have come upon a new mindset though, that should help me stay on track. I haven't drank alcohol since Jan 1st,2009. On that New Years Eve I only had half a cooler, and a sip of Champagne. I found myself new friends, because my so called 'real friends' thought they'd had enough. I'm sure they were right. I have nearly done a full 360 degree turn around in life.
I woke up to his smile and a good morning blessing
Methinks he believed I would get up and run, but I am just guessing
...
It is I, myself, that I percieve as a coward. cowardence is wat is me.I am nothing more then a lowly coward, who can't evan face her own mind let alone her feelings.
And what is it that I feel?
Anger, jealousy, longing, lust, dispair, fear and hunger.
Angry at myself for my actions in the past few days
...
I can’t breath. I am trying, but I can’t.
My breath comes in as short ragged gasps
My hands start to shake uncontrollably
I’m cold.
...
She has a victims' list but her weapon
Is Luv 'n Lies not guns or poison darts
Lies of devotion, loving its commotion
Her grace is her sin, too dangerous to be let in
...
The Stars and the Moon
Came Down Too Soon
And I dance the Dawn away
Picked a Flower
