Speak:
Audre Lorde told me,
“Your silence will not protect you”
I have held on to those words
every time I want to speak,
but my words escape me.
Audre Lorde told me “your silence will not protect you,”
but when I try to speak,
I can’t.
There’s a pain that exists to be deeper than all I could ever manage and handle,
I feel broken,
