Whispers of my existence

Whispers of my existence

by Mimi, Grade 11
I live in many different places.
Sometimes in the back of my neck and the top of my shoulder, 
Or about 7 inches trailing in the back of my left ear. 
A few times I found myself in the color of your eyes
Even climbing down your spine where the truth lies 
But most of the time I find myself suspended, just a breath's distance from the surface that veils the vessel which exists on my behalf.
LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT
We wish to acknowledge this land on which Branksome operates. For thousands of years, it has been the traditional land of the Wendat, the Seneca, and most recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit River. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous peoples from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work and go to school on this land.*

*The Land Acknowledgement may evolve as we honour our commitment to Truth and Reconciliation in partnership with Indigenous communities.

Setting the new standard for girls' education everywhere takes collective action. From all of us.
