I never want to undermine anyone
or anyone's story.
When I say "whisper"
I know that sometimes
that whisper cannot come.
It took me years to be able to whisper my story.
So when that whisper cannot come
I want to honour that silence.
I want to respect the silence.
For those whose whisper is just too painful.
So let the silence rest,
and wait for the time
to allow you the whisper.
