Breaking the Silence

She was a threat to many. Not because she wanted to be, but because she dared to look truth in the eyes. She never turned away from what others tried to bury under silence and convenience. Her words weren’t comfortable, and her silence was never empty. She spoke when others stayed quiet, when the world chose to tolerate what shouldn’t be tolerated. She knew she was risking everything, that she could end up alone, an outcast, yet truth and justice mattered to her above all else.
