Broken

Broken

Broken

Thinking it's my fault

It's my fault

My fault

Fault

What happened to you?

What's wrong with you?

Who wronged you?

You are wrong

Are wrong

Wrong

It's the anxiety of not having a safe place to land

A safe place

Safe place

Space

Looking out at Milnerton lighthouse

Wondering what anchors me

Trying not to sink

Not to be a deadweight

I'm sorry for failing you

You deserve better than this weak older version of you that just can't get it right

You fought so hard...just to become me

I messed you up even further, can't even look at you in the mirror.

I cut my hair short, and in layers, and I wear it curly, just like you did

Trying to have the strength you had

You were a superhero. You saved me.

I'm still trying to save me.

Searching for a beacon of hope

Searching

Trying

Attempting

Looking for a purpose beyond the horizon

Of every new day

Staring out over Table Bay looking for the answers in the soil, and in the wind, and in the ocean

But I'm stranded

Robben Island calls to me over the waters

The spirits of those lost in these waters haunt me, threaten to pull me down to find them

I can't find them though I strain my eyes for a glimpse of a memory, of their history

I'm trying to find us

I'm trying to find me

I'm stranded but so free

So free

Free.

Women in Film Challenge 2020: [29/52] Krotoa, dir. Roberta Durrant (South Africa, 2017)

My name is Krotoa, not Eva. I am a princess of the Goringhaikona tribe. Daughter of Ais, the daughter of Aaye. If I have any regret, it's that I realized too late that I helped you rape my country. You came here with your horses and your guns, and we still welcomed you. You bought us off with cheap trinkets and worthless promises. I believed that we could live in peace, that you would respect my people and my culture. You call us savages? You are the savages! You have stolen my country, but you will never steal my heritage.
