I LOST MY TALK
Devastating: both the text and the music. The National Youth Choir of Canada has this in their repertoire. First Nations woman, Rita Joe, attended a residential school as a youth. Looking back, she reveals her pain in a subtle and beautiful way.
I lost my talk –
the talk you took away.
When I was a little girl
at Shubenacadie School
you snatched it away
I speak like you
I think like you
I create like you
The scrambled ballad about my world
Two ways, I talk
Both ways I say
Your way in more powerful
So, gently I offer my hand and ask
Let me find my talk
So I can teach you about me.
poem: Rita Joe
