At first, I have nothing to say.
Absolute silence, you know?
Do I care? I don’t.
It’s the usual uncertainty in my head.
It is a challenge.
I don’t have to bite my tongue.
I repeat—I have nothing to say,
every frickin’ day.
I’m not inarticulate.
I don’t have a secret.
Instead, I feel conflicted.
I do say beautiful sentences…in my head.
I have to say them to make a difference.
I have to declare my sentences.
I have to give my wisdom.
I have to make a difference.
