You Weren’t Meant to Stay Quiet

Why do you feel like your voice doesn't matter?

Who gave you that idea?

When did you start believing that staying quiet was safer than being honest?

Why is it easier to stay silent...

...Even when you know something's wrong?

Why do you hesitate before you speak up?

Who taught you that your discomfort was dangerous?

Who taught you that discipline equals pain?

Why do you feel isolated when you think for yourself?

If your thoughts really didn't matter why would so much effort go into making sure you never share them?

Why are certain views censored?

Why is dissent ridiculed instead of debated?

Why is division so heavily funded and unity so heavily feared?

If your voice had no power...

Why are you punished for using it?

If your silence made things better...

Why does everything feel like it's falling apart?

You are far more powerful than you believe you are.

They know it...

You should know it too.
