The silence haunted me
It wasn’t my choice
Its not like my words wouldn’t come out
They came out and every single word was broken in half or twisted into a different meaning
I spoke but what lingered was never my truth
The so called warriors that silenced me were the same ones that silenced themselves
In the name of tradition
They even dare call it love
In times like these
There is only one thing to do
Step away
So that when I speak
My words won’t reach them
And they’ll never get the chance to twist my truth ever again
